When using drag-and-drop on a window group button in the tasklist, nothing happens
Last modified: 2006-05-30 18:36:41 UTC
Please describe the problem: When trying to use drag-and-drop to a hidden window, the only way to get to it is by dragging to the window's entry in the task list, waiting for it to activate (and brought to the current desktop) and then dropping on it. When the target window is part of a window group in the tasklist, there is no way to access it as dragging to the window group button doesn't do anything. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure some windows are in a window group button - for example by opening a lot of Firefox windows. 2. grab something that can be dragged - like a text selection or a url - from any window 3. drag to a normal button on the tasklist and wait w/o releasing- the relevant window activates. 4. drag to a window group button Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: I would expect that the window list for the window group button would open - like when just clicking it normally does. Does this happen every time? It happens everytime Other information: The only workaround for this is to make sure that the target window is visible before starting the drag and drop. This usually requires a lot of window rearranging though it can be minimized by making sure the target window is visible on a different desktop and then dragging to the pager. If there is no alternative to the drag-and-drop action (like copy and paste), then this is a major hurdle.
