SUMMARY Pressing Ctrl key after starting dragging selected text does not cause the text to be copied as intended, even if the small "+" icon is overlayed to cause that expectation. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select some text 2. Start dragging the selected text 3. Press down Ctrl key; a small icon appears over the mouse pointer 4. Release the selected text into new position while still holding the Ctrl key down OBSERVED RESULT The text is moved into the new position EXPECTED RESULT It should be a copy, and therefore the original text is expected to remain into its original position. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 41/KDE 6.2.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This works just fine when holding the Ctrl key down before starting the drag operation, though the mouse pointer confusingly becomes invisible temporarily. The same behaviour is observed when holding down the Shift key while dragging selected text into a different panel. In that case, you would expect the text to be moved (the "+" icon disappears to indicate this expected behaviour), however the original text is not removed.
Mmm, works for me with current master and Qt 6.8 both on X11 and Wayland.
works for me as well
I think this is an issue with the some other parts of the stack. I would hope some other updates will fix that for you.
