Drag-n-drop seems broken on Linux (again)
« on: October 27, 2021, 02:26:20 pm »
This happened in the Beta as well.  Wonder if the bug snuck back in (v26.0.0.6)?

32-bit, 64-bit, 64-bit Qt5, or ARM Linux?

I can't reproduce any problems. What are you seeing?

Which Linux distribution and version?  Have you tried the Qt5 version of v26?

Kubuntu 18.04.  I just tried the Qt5 version and it does the same thing.  Behavior is same as:

When you click to drag, it just undoes the current highlighting and starts a new selection.

I just tried my Kubuntu 18.0.4 VM with v26.0.0.6 64-bit Qt4 and could not reproduce this problem.

Please try a default config:

Code: [Select]
vs +new -sc /tmp/new-config-dir&

My bad...somewhere along the way the config setting got turned off. I don't know how (it's been on for years).  Anyway, it's working now.  Thanks!

Glad you figured it out. SlickEdit has so many settings even we can't keep track of them all.
