           Summary: Drag files to playlist forbidden after alt-tab
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.3.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Playlist
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
        ReportedBy: pedro_alves@portugalmail.pt
                CC: nhn@kde.org, teo@kde.org


Version:           2.3.2 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Use case: I have Dolphin window maximized, and so the Amarok window is not
visible.  I want to drag a file from Dolphin to Amarok's playlist.
But using drag + alt-tab + drop does not work, as Amarok's playlist refuses the
drop when one uses alt-tab.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
- start dragging an audio file or directory from Dolphin
- alt-tab to make the Amarok window visible and focused.
- release all keys, including tab
- drop the file in Amarok's playlist


Actual Results:  
The mouse cursor will show you that the drop is "forbidden", and doesn't
actually work if you release the mouse button, so this not just an icon
problem.


Expected Results:  
The mouse cursor drop icon should change to the usual "allow drop here" icon,
and after drop, the audio file should be added to Amarok's playlist.

The workaround is to reorganize Dolphin and Amarok's windows so that they're
both visible on the screen simultaneously, so that I won't need alt-tab to do
the drag&drop.  This is cumbersome.
