Bug ID: 472366
Summary: Unsnapping a quick-tiled window by dragging may drag
the window by a point outside its titlebar
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Custom Tiling
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Due to the changes in 5.27, a quick-tiled window will remember its previous
size, and revert to that when un-tiled. In particular, as soon as one grabs the
titlebar and drags the window, it will revert to its previous size for the
drag.
However, if a window's previous size was sufficiently small, and one drags the
titlebar near the rightmost edge, this can result in "holding" the window from
a point that is not actually inside of the window. The window drags correctly,
but this is visually confusing, and prevents the user from moving the window to
the right side of the screen in the same gesture (i.e. she has to put down the
window and pick it back up again first).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a window arbitrarily thin.
2. Drag it to the left side of the screen so that it quick-tiles to the left
half of the screen.
3. Click down on a point near the right side of the titlebar, and drag it off
the left side of the screen.
OBSERVED RESULT
The mouse will not be over the titlebar of the window, but rather to the right
of it.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window should be placed somewhere such that the mouse is over the titlebar.
Simply always defaulting to the center may make sense, although more
sophisticated algorithms are also possible.
