[opensuse-factory] kde can't drag / move icons
openSUSE 11.4 M6 The other day I found that I was suddenly unable to move icons on my desktop. Nor can I move them around in a folder view widget on the desktop. When I tried to drag them, they wouldn't move, instead a selection rectange would draw as though I hadn't clicked an icon. So I created a new user to see if the problem existed there. No problem. So then I nuked my ~/.kde4 folder and let it regenerate. Problem is gone. But now all the sudden it is back again. I can't move icons. I do not have "lock in place" or "align to grid" checked. I tried a standard Desktop View, and a Folder View desktop activity. I couldn't find any other reports of this.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I think I heard a guy report a similar problem on irc. Can't reproduce though. However if/when the plasma desktop acts weird, it's a lot less intrusive to only delete ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc than deleting your entire ~/.kde4/. Note, it must be done when plasma-desktop is not running to have the desired effect. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Do you have single click to activate or double click to activate? I just added a patch from 4.6 branch to our packages (kdebase4) that will fix dragging icons in Folder View with double-click to activate.

Double click... ok that must be it. I changed to single click and I am able to drag icons again. Back to double click and I cannot drag. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The fix is in KDE:Distro:Factory and will be in 11.4RC1. Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
