When I select some resources in the browser and start dragging them, but my finger is still moving over other - unselected - resources, the "ghost" does not appear. The dragging operation is not visualized. It's only visualized when I move my finger outside the resource list.

I have to take another look to spot them again, but unfortunately I'll be at a conference until Wednesday and I don't know if I'll find time there to do it. I'll get to it as soon as I can. _______________________________________________ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active
