Hmm, interesting. It does not strike me as wrong behavior off hand, but it is remarkably different behavior. On a trackpad, continuously holding down the button while dragging with X is a little tedious actually, and the result you want has a good chance of failure if you "let go" of the dragged object through inadvertent unclicking. This is less likely with the Wayland behavior. But it's a valid question whether the difference in behavior is intentional or an artifact. If it's going to change, the sooner the better, rather than having multiple different behaviors floating about among Fedora releases. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
