Note at step 3 while dragging the box that on unity7 a handle correctly appears near the mouse and follows it, whereas on unity8 it spawns a window with the image for the handle but it doesn't follow the mouse. I am assuming this is linked to other existing bugs within unity8/mir where showing menus appear in separate windows? But I'm not sure which bug that is? I am currently assuming that either the increased security of Mir between windows is preventing the Qt drag system from being to detect when the mouse is over another window? (even though they are the same app) Or is the issue that this functionality has not been implemented yet? I have the a xenial desktop with the stable overlay and the multi- window silo for the webbrowser [0]. The demo mini-app I have linked to this bug and can be found at [1]. Let me know if you need help running it. The use case for this scenario, is moving tabs in the webbrowser between multiple windows and dragging a tab out of a window to spawn a new window. 0 - https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-084/+packages 1 - https://code.launchpad.net/~ahayzen/+junk/multi-window-dnd-cpp-001 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mir/+bug/1627013/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
