Bug ID: 456008
Summary: Plasma VMWare host integration broken in 5.25
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
Since the update to Plasma 5.25 VMWare host integration isn't working anymore.
Previously I was able to drag and drop files to/from the Windows host and
exchange copy/pasted data via the clipboard. With 5.25 both mechanisms stopped
working.
If I try to drag files from Plasma to Windows, it fails because the mouse
pointer can't be moved beyond the Plasma desktop borders anymore. From Windows
to Plasma the the mouse pointer just indicates that a drop operation into the
Plasma desktop area isn't possible.
Similarly, copy/pasting clipboard content worked in both directions up until
5.24.5 and is broken now.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just drag a file from Dolphin to e.g. the Windows desktop or an Explorer
window
2. Or copy some text into the clipboard and try to paste it into and
application on Windows
OBSERVED RESULT
Files can't be dragged beyond the Plasma desktop borders anymore, both on X11
and Wayland. File drags from Windows host are indicated as not possible by
mouse pointer symbol.
Copy/pasting of text via clipboard doesn't work in either direction anymore.
EXPECTED RESULT
Drag and drop of files works as before and copy/paste of clipboard content is
possible again (I used it daily up until 5.24.5).
