--- Comment #20 from Martin Flöser <mgraess...@kde.org> ---
I think I need to explain a little bit more.

We do have the functionality of screenedges since 4.0 or even longer which is
about a decade now. The implementation relies on input only windows with a
border of 1px. This has always been like that. Since the introduction it was
combined with a default corner enabled by default.

In all those years hardly anybody complained about the fact that this steals
mouse clicks. I only remember one fellow dev to mention it. The implementation
is even smart enough to have the windows removed when there is a fullscreen
window. So e.g. gaming in a fullscreen window is not affected by this problem.

Given the data we had there was no indication that this would result in
problems. We are now also caught in between a hard and a rock place. I
understand that you would like the default to change, but users with touch
screens will disagree. Such a functionality must be provided out-of-the-box.

Given that there is a simple workaround for affected users this has not a high
priority. That is we will not revert the change. I will investigate another
solution which I wanted to use anyway, but there is no guarantee that this will
be provided as an update to 5.10.
