Bug ID: 399489
Summary: Moving items to different locations on the desktop is
hard
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop Containment

Non drop area on screen
Moving items to different locations on the desktop is hard
SUMMARY
Items cannot be dropped on intermediate areas on desktop. When an item is
dragged and dropped at a different location on the desktop, if the green plus
icon isn't shown on the screen, the item can neither be dropped at the new
location nor nearby; it just gets placed back at it's original location.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a file/folder to the desktop (if Home or Trash are available they can be
used)
2. Move an item to multiple locations on the desktop
3. Observe the various areas on the desktop the item can't be dropped and how
often it flickers between the 'drop icon' and 'no-drop icon'
4. Drop the item somewhere where the drop icon is red.
OBSERVED RESULT
When dragging an item to a different location on the desktop, the cursor has to
be positioned at a very specific location on the desktop before the item can be
dropped. Otherwise, when the item is dropped, it gets placed back at it's
original location.
EXPECTED RESULT
When an item is dropped anywhere on the desktop, it gets placed in the nearest
slot.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50.0
Qt Version: 5.11.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It appears that desktop uses a grid, where items can only be placed on certain
slots in that grid. If the item can't be dropped on areas between the slots,
then possibly auto-placing the item in the closes location would work better.
