Simple drag & drop (like moving or dropping Tracker items) should work as of hrev17058. The negotiated drag & drop (making a bitmap clip from ShowImage) still seems to be broken. Note that we do not yet use (the faster) message delivery by shared area. This causes some flattening / unflattening that gives a noticable delay when initiating a drag.

comment:5 by axeld, 18 years ago

Are you sure it's caused by that? Usually, drag&drop messages are pretty tiny, and (un)flattening them even hundred times shouldn't be noticeable. (I haven't yet tried it, though :))

comment:6 by mmlr, 18 years ago

Under real hardware the delay is not noticeable but under QEMU there is one. Could come from the blending in HWInterface::_AdoptDragBitmap() as well though. The mouse moved message on the other hand certainly suffer from the constant unflattening even of tiny messages.

With the BMessage fix in hrev17101 negotiated drag & drop should now work too (making bitmap clips from ShowImage for example). I'll leave this bug open until I verified that there remain no locking issues.

I think there's no locking issues remains. The only thing is that first icon drag after Haiku boot doesn't work. After that everything is okey.

Aah, there is one locking issue: To reproduce BeMenu->Applications->Zoom button->Alt+a->drag Icon-O-Matic (you should now drag several items. Now start to drag this items around and in the same time swith workspaces using alt+1 alt+2 very fast, after 30-60 sec you can't drop this items and you have to reboot.

Can't reproduce any of those bugs here on hrev21836, may need more testing, if there's more specific bugs to test other drag&drop issues should have their own ticket.

comment:12 by mmlr, 17 years ago

I haven't encountered drag&drop issues in a while now and all the affected bugs have been closed. Can we therefore agree on closing this ticket too and open up new ones with concrete steps to reproduce when they appear?

Agreed.
