SUMMARY Occasionally, when I move a window to a different screen or virtual desktop using a keyboard shortcut, a red line (mouse mark) is drawn from a position where the mouse cursor recently rested to it's current position. The shortcuts I use have the same modifiers (Meta+Shift) that are configured for drawing a line. After changing the modifiers for mouse marks, no lines are drawn. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Activate mouse marks and set free draw modifiers to Meta + Shift 2. Set shortcut for "Window to Next Desktop" to Meta + Shift + V (or other key) 3. Focus any window 4. Move mouse somewhere 5. Stop moving mouse 6. Press the shortcut set in 2 7. If no mouse mark created yet, repeat from step 4 OBSERVED RESULT At some point a Line is drawn EXPECTED RESULT No line drawn SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-21-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz Memory: 15,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Created attachment 167904 [details] "Mouse Mark" effect being triggered without the hotkey being pressed.
I am not sure how exactly the KDE Bug Tracker is intended to be used when I have the same issue. (The documentation says: "Look through the Bugzilla tickets that show up in the search results. If you find one that matches, great!" but gives no further advice that I see.) However, I'll add my experience and a screen recording. I have Mouse Mark configured with shortcuts all of which use either Shift+Meta or Shift+Meta+Ctrl. META is used in both, and ALT is not used in either. When using my JetBrains IDE I find myself using Alt+Shift+L frequently to reformat code. Sometimes this causes a straight Mouse Mark line to suddenly appear. I have uploaded a screen recording of this occurring. After further testing, I see that it actually is triggered by hitting the Alt+Shift keys at exactly the same moment. Somehow a previous mouse position gets remembered and, if I do it "properly", a line will be drawn to the current position of the mouse. If I'm careful, I can draw numerous connecting line segments. I can clear them using my Meta+Shift+F11 Mouse Mark shortcut. Again, of personal importance: It happens using keys that are not associated with the Mouse Mark Window Effect.

can reproduce following both methods described, using Meta+Shift+Letter or Alt+Shift.

Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. plugins/mousemark: clear drawing when no modifiers are pressed Previously when drawing has length 1, it is not cleared. So the remaining point in drawing can connect with the new point when the user represses the modifiers, leading to a unexpected mark. This ammends commit 46807b1a72f1d760b52b92a574face4a7a509a39.
