Description Dani Megert CLA 2010-05-12 04:49:06 EDT
N20100511-2000 but also in R3.2.

The drag over feedback is wrong in the Project Explorer i.e. it does not match the resulting operation.

1. start to drag a file from the OS explorer
2. move it over a folder in the Project Explorer
   ==> OK: copy drag over feedback is shown
3. press 'Shift' to indicate that you want to move the file
   ==> WRONG: move drag over feedback is shown even though move is not supported
              (can be verified by releasing the mouse: the file will be copied)
==> copy drag over feedback should be shown even if 'Shift' is pressed.


Since 3.5, it is also possible to press 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' to indicate that a link/shortcut should be created. This is wrong too since it will copy the file ==> copy drag over feedback should be shown even if 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' is pressed.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
