2007-05-03 04:43:37 Thiago Teixeira title Wish: Add ability to initiate drag, perform Alt-Tab, then drop Not possible to alt-tab during a drag-and-drop operation
2007-05-04 15:13:45 Thiago Teixeira description 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 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.

It is unclear to me whether this is a limitation of the window manager or some other part of the system. ------------------------------------------ Use Case: Dragging movie/audio files from nautilus to totem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open totem media player full screen 2. open nautilus full screen 3. browse to media files 4. select some media files (e.g. a movie file) and move it to start a drag and drop operation 5. press Alt+Tab Observations: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Alt+Tab should allow the user to switch tasks and preserve the drag state, so the user can drag files from one application to another. Notes: Drag and drop works if the applications are tiled to the left/right of each other, or if they are windowed so it should work when they are full screen.
