Bug ID: 444661
Summary: When using a top panel (Application Menu Bar),
dragging a Firefox tab to the top of the screen does
not maximize the window.
Product: kwin
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In KDE, you can drag a window to the top of the screen in order to quickly
maximize the window. However, using a top panel can disrupt this shortcut for
certain apps, the most notable being Firefox; if you try to drag a tab out of
Firefox and drag it to the top of the screen, it does not work because it tries
to interact with the top panel instead. A user could avoid this issue by aiming
the cursor below the top panel, but this is a disruption to muscle memory.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a top panel to your desktop (referred to as an Application Menu Bar)
2. Open Firefox and have two tabs open
3. Drag one of the tabs to the top of the screen where the top bar resides
OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor displays a little plus icon over the document icons. The widgets in
the top panel may shuffle a bit. When letting go of left-click, nothing
happens.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect for the Firefox tab to open in a new, maximized window.
