[Bug 253716] [NEW] [kde 4] icons dragged on top of desktop folder view become unclickable (hidden underneath it)

[mathew]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

I wondered what the new "Desktop" semi-transparent rectangle was for
(called a folder view on the right-click menu). It occurred to me that
maybe I could only drag files onto it now, rather than to anywhere on
the desktop.

So, I grabbed a PDF file from Dolphin and dropped it on the desktop.
Everything worked fine, I ended up with a PDF file on my desktop.

I picked up the PDF icon from my desktop, and dropped it on top of the
"Desktop" semi-transparent rectangle. It got dimmer, but seemed
otherwise unchanged. I went to pick it up again, and found that no
amount of clicking would let me. Click and drag just produced an empty
rectangular selection box.

Eventually I worked out that the icon had automatically fallen
underneath the semi-transparent folder view, even though I had dropped
it on top. I had to work out how to move the folder view in order to be
able to click the icon.

I'm also increasingly unclear as to what this folder view rectangle is
for, since dragging files onto it doesn't do anything useful, and it
doesn't seem to have any help button or menu to explain why it's there.
