Bug ID: 462290
Summary: A window should not be moved to the top on a mouse
down event when the event results in a selection
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.26.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: glx
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: carlon.l...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This is a pretty bothering behavior of Plasma. When something is selected in a
window that is not on top, that window is brought to the top immediately on the
mouse down event. This creates a problem: when something is being selected to
be dragged to the window on top, the mouse down event hides the window
immediately, making it impossible to drop the selected object. Both Mac OS and
Windows do not behave like this, and I think this should be the proper
behavior.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place a dolphin window somewhere and make it pretty large.
2. Open a new dolphin window and make it smaller, overlapping the previous one.
3. Now try to move a file from the first window (which is not on top) into the
smaller widow (which is on top).
OBSERVED RESULT
The result is that the smaller window is hidden as soon as the file is
selected. This makes it impossible to drop on it.
EXPECTED RESULT
In my opinion, the window in the back should not be moved to the top on mouse
down event on selection. The mouse down event should select the file in the
back window, but the top window should remain on top. This makes it possible to
drop on it.
