Bug ID: 379575
Summary: Rise window on mouse button release to allow better
drag and drop behaviour
Product: kwin
Version: 5.9.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Problem scenario:
1. Maximized window in the background (unfocused) (e.g. dolphin)
2. Windowed window in the foreground (focused) (e.g. thunderbird new email
window)
If I want to drag a file from dolphin to thunderbird in order to attach it to
the email this is not possible, because once I long click on the file on
dolphin, the dolphin window is brought to the foreground hiding the thunderbird
window.
To achieve the result, I need to either set thunderbird to "always on top" or
de-maximize dolphin and put the two windows side by side.
If instead of raising on the mouse button down click, the dolphin window will
be raised on mouse button release, it would be possible to drag and drop as
described above. In other words, when drag and dropping the dolphin window will
not be raised, while it will be raised on a single click.
A similar behaviour can be obtained by changing the following setting:
System Settings > Window Management > Window Actions > Left Button
to "Activates & Pass Click"
but this then causes the annoying behaviour of requiring two clicks to raise
the window at any time, which is not desiderable.
