Description S. Christian Collins 2025-03-16 15:50:14 UTC 
SUMMARY
If I try to move a favorites icon by clicking and dragging it to a new position in the menu, the application is launched after I release the button and move the mouse cursor away from the icon. This is a pretty recent regression.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click and drag a favorites icon to a new position and release the mouse button.
2. Move the mouse cursor.

OBSERVED RESULT
As soon as the mouse cursor moves in step 2 above, the application is launched.

EXPECTED RESULT
The application should not be launched.

WORKAROUND
After dragging an icon to its new position, release the mouse button but don't move the mouse cursor. Then press Esc, and the app won't launch.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Fedora Linux Plasma Desktop Edition 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Graphics Platform: Wayland

I can't reproduce this also on Fedora 41, but with all KDE software from git master.
Comment 2 John Kizer 2025-03-18 01:44:41 UTC 
I can reproduce this on my Fedora KDE 41 device, and on a KDE Neon (User Edition) VM, with both the grid and list arrangements.

I just managed to reproduce this in a slightly different way on my system:

1. Drag app in the grid
2. Release mouse button
3. Move pointer somewhere else that's *not* over an app icon
4. Click

At this point, the dragged app launches.
