Bug ID: 513474
Summary: Unable to switch to a workspace with the taskbar
workspace widget if a window is on the workspace with
a tablet
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using a drawing tablet, you can use the workspace widget to switch
workspaces if the workspace is empty. However if there is a window in the
workspace, you need to tap on an empty area as it will other wise grab the
window and move it around (and not switch to that workspace).
With a mouse, you have to click and hold to select and drag the window around.
However with a tablet, it seems like there is no click/tap grace time and it
always grabs if there is a window.
This makes it impossible to switch to busy workspace or workspaces with
fullscreen windows.
Even on non busy workspaces, it is really annoying as you then have tab between
the windows to switch.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a workspace widget to the taskbar and create a few workspaces.
2. Populate the workspaces with a few windows and try to switch back and forth
between them with a tablet pen.
3. Notice that if you tab on any of the window outline that you can't switch
workspaces
OBSERVED RESULT
Unable to switch workspaces unless you tap in an empty area
EXPECTED RESULT
A short tap of the pen should switch the workspace no matter where you tap.
Only when pressing and holding the pen should the window be grabbed and
workspace not be switched.
