Bug ID: 507060
Summary: Unable to drag desktop files between monitors
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.2
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop icons & Folder View widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Since last update (installed around 12 July 2025) I'm unable to drag files or
icons between desktops on either of my 2 displays. I can drag the file/icon
into a third folder, and drag from that folder onto the desktop; but when files
are dragged between displays, they snap back to original position. Icons show
as normal under the cursor when dragged, but if crossing display boundary, they
don't stay where placed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 2 monitors with desktop files on each.
2. Drag file from one display/desktop to the other
OBSERVED RESULT
- Item moves if within original display, snaps to original display if not.
- Dragging items between desktops and a 3rd folder works as a workaround, but
is annoying.
EXPECTED RESULT
- Items should move freely between desktops and snap to grid where placed as
normal.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 42 KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Found a *similar* but different bug reported with 506188, however I've
experienced no issue moving between folders, only between desktops on different
monitors. This is annoying for my setup, as I keep work & productivity items on
one display, and games & personal items on the other. I've never had an issue
before this weekend, and I didn't change any settings before or after
Saturday's update.
