** Description changed: In some window managers (I believe KWin is one of them) the user is able to initiate a drag-and-drop operation, then press alt-tab to raise a window that will be the drop target, and only then release the mouse button so that the drag-and-drop is performed.

drx: A workaround for that is to set Compiz's Scale to activate on the screen corner. It's not as nice as using the key combo, but it's something at least :) .

it also should be noted that window focuses on mouse_down, not on mouse_up, so dragging from a window is not possible without bringing it in front of other windows. -- Not possible to alt-tab during a drag-and-drop operation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 111939] Re: Not possible to alt-tab during a drag-and-drop operation
Confirmed on Ubuntu 7.04 final (Gnome) Procedure: 1) Open 2 windows of Nautilus 2) Initiate 'drag and drop' in one window (click-hold an item (e.g., file), move the mouse) 3) Press alt+tab Result: The alt+tab won't work The usefulness of alt+tab while doing DnD is that it is a lot faster than binging the intended window by hovering its entry on the task bar. In Windows XP, we can use alt+tab while doing 'drag and drop'. ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- Not possible to alt-tab during a drag-and-drop operation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 111939] Re: Not possible to alt-tab during a drag-and-drop operation
** Description changed: In some window managers (I believe KWin is one of them) the user is able to initiate a drag-and-drop operation, then press alt-tab to raise a - window that will the be drop target, and only then release the mouse + window that will be the drop target, and only then release the mouse button so that the drag-and-drop is performed. This is not possible with Metacity, Beryl, Compiz or Xfwm. It is unclear to me whether this is a limitation of the window manager or some other part of the system. -- Not possible to alt-tab during a drag-and-drop operation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
