Screenshot showing the background moving when dragging an item in the foreground

SUMMARY
Drag events are captured by the underlying process list in 'Configure columns...' when the drag handles fall above the process list table instead of overlapping the sidebar.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Monitor.
2. Maximize the window.
3. Switch to the 'Processes' pane.
4. Click 'Configure columns...' in the toolbar.
5. Try to drag an item in the list to change the order.

OBSERVED RESULT
The table in the background moves instead of the item that is being dragged. It is not possible to drag the items in the foreground.

EXPECTED RESULT
The item in the foreground would move when dragging by its drag handle.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This appears to happen when the drag handles in the foreground list sit above the process table in the background. When initially opening the window, the drag handles are usually placed just slightly overlapping the sidebar, which allows them to be dragged. When maximizing the window or making it wider, they no longer sit above the sidebar and the drag events are captured by the table in the background.
Comment 1 Arjen Hiemstra 2024-05-28 13:19:32 UTC
This is ultimately an upstream bug, I've filed https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-125867 for it. 

However, I've also found a fairly simple workaround so I'll make a merge request for that as well.

Set interactive of TableView and page flickable to false

SelectionRectangle has a weird interaction where it can intercept
mouse events when it shouldn't (QTBUG-125867) for some reason
setting the flickables to not be interactive works around this.
This should have no other effect because we are in scrollviews that
manage touch and scrolling.
