Demonstration of the bug with Dolphin and Firefox
SUMMARY
Since 6.5 there is a strange behavior of Icons-Only Task Manager (might affect
the other one also, I don't use it though) when using drag-n-drop on an
application with multiple windows open. When I drag e.g. a file from Dolphin
onto the icon of Firefox with 2 browser windows open, there is a list of all
the windows open that pops up above the icon, naturally I move the file dragged
file on top of the window title which I wanna drop it in, but for some reason
there is now a gap between the task manager and the list, so dragging the file
towards the list hides the popup.
This is a very strange UX design and a regression compared to the UX of 6.4 and
should be reverted (if intentional) or fixed.
Note that I'm aware of using the arrow keys and enter to navigate the list, but
that isn't a comfortable nor intuitive for the average user.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Icons-Only Task Manager in a panel.
2. Have Dolphin open with a file ready.
3. Have a program supporting drag-n-drop (e.g. a web browser) open with
multiple windows.
4. Try to drag-n-drop from Dolphin to the program.
OBSERVED RESULT
Attempting to reach the list with the mouse hides the list because of a gap.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no gap and you should be able to reach the list with no problem
with mouse only.
