GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587899
DnD fails on left half of the screen
Last modified: 2009-07-08 01:18:56 UTC
For a few days now (after the overlay redesign landed I think) I am unable to use DnD in on the left half of the screen, meaning that a) I cannot launch applications in workspace 1 or 3 by DnD for example while I can do the same on workspace 2 and 4 b) I cannot move windows from other workspaces to workspaces on the left (for example, from 3 to 2) while I can move them from left to right (2 to 3) Adding more workspaces than just 2 (horizontally), things change as follow: - with 3 workspaces horizontally -> DND works only in the last "column" - with 4 workspaces horizontally -> DND works only in the last "column" - with 5 workspaces horizontally -> DND works the last 2 "columns"
Just confirming this - same behavior.
Created attachment 137943 [details] [review] Ugly hack to work-around the problem temporarily This needs a better fix, but here is a working patch to get things working properly for now.
Created attachment 137956 [details] [review] Fix DND to left side of the screen Set the size of the Dash actor to 0x0 so that it doesn't interfere with drag and drop.
Pushed my patch.
