QTerminal "drop down" closes if you move it or click outside the text entry field.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo (development branch)
Release: 21.04
Codename: hirsute

Open QTerminal and click anywhere outside of it or try to drag it to a new location. It closes immediately, without any notifications.

You can click inside the text entry field and the terminal emulator will function as normal.

If you click anywhere outside that, it closes (presumably crashing, but there's no error messages that I see).

Have you tried pressing the key for the drop down f12 by default. I think the way a drop down mode is intended to work is it automatically hides itself if it loses focus. If you want qterminal not to do this press the lock button on the upper left side or is the lock button not working for you?

I think that we can mark this as resolved - but, that's not even slightly intuitive.

That's not even a little intuitive.

I am pretty sure that I have the power to close this.

While not even a little intuitive, it is the expected behavior. Clicking outside will hide it. Press F12 to show it again. Press the lock icon to prevent the behavior.

Thanks goes to Lyn.
