Bug ID: 419855
Summary: It's too easy to accidentally move icons in a "quick
launcher" widget
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: panfa...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Since plasma 5.18 the ability to lock/unlock widgets was hidden.
This was done because the widget editing is now different and -allegedly- it's
more difficult to misconfigure your widgets, so theoretically the ability to
lock widgets is no longer needed to the average user.
However in my opinion misconfiguring a "quick launcher" widget is easy, it just
takes a wrong right click.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a quick launcher widget to your panel or desktop.
2. Add a few launchers, let's say firefox, dolphin and konsole.
3. Now let's supose you accidentally press the right button of the mouse over
one of the icons.
4. Right after the accidental right click mentioned above, let's supose you
also accidentally move the mouse cursor. This allows you to alter the launcher
icon position or even move it to the desktop.
5. (Optional) Supose you accidentally move one of the icons to the desktop.
Let's say you want to put the icon back in the "quick launcher" widget. If you
try to drag & drop this icon from the desktop to the "quick launcher" widget,
it wouldn't work.
OBSERVED RESULT
It just takes a right click + accidental drag to break a "quick launcher"
widget. Note that you don't even need to enter the "customize layout" mode to
do it.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would prefer to not define an expected result right now, so maybe we could
discuss a different behaviour which makes this "quick launcher" widget more
complicated to break.
