Description Nate Graham 2025-09-26 16:23:50 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add any Widget to the desktop, like the Analog Clock
2. Exit global edit mode, if it's active
3. Click-and-hold on the widget so it enters local edit mode
4. Without removing your finger from the touchpad/mouse button, move the pointer to drag the widget


OBSERVED RESULT
The widget doesn't move.


EXPECTED RESULT
The widget does move.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Once the widget is in local edit mode, if I release my finger from the touchpad/mouse button and then start a drag, the widget moves.

Screen recording

Here's a screen recording showing how I reproduce it, with the Mouse Click effect active.

I also can't reproduce this with git-master on a laptop using the touchpad or mouse
I tried with an existing widget, and a newly added clock widget
Comment 4 Niccolò Venerandi 2025-09-30 12:12:10 UTC 
FWIW, I also can't seem to reproduce this…
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2025-09-30 14:01:51 UTC 
This appears to be an issue with the config file in my normal user account; I can't reproduce it in a new one.

I'll do a bit of digging to see if I can figure it out.
