Xfce has a feature that allows you to drag a window by holding a specified key (ALT by default); you can then drag it anywhere (not only from the top window border). This makes it possible to drag the opened whisker menu around your screen (which looks very silly). If I close and open it again its position is reset.

This of course ain't a critical bug but I can't take a start menu serious that you can move around your screen like a normal window (even if it just is a normal window).

Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Accessibility
Here you can specify which key can be used to grab and move windows.

FYI/FWIW: The commit mentioned makes whiskermenu work properly for touch input devices.

I've spend hours to debug till I saw this bug: Problem was that mouse button release events were not catched by treeview item. I think for mouse (non touch) devices the bug was wiped away by a flood of hoovering events before button press/release.

Whiskermenu for touch was almost unusable:

1st touch -> in the state of dragging
2nd touch -> stop dragging
3rd touch -> do what you wanted to in 1st touch.

Thanks

Andreas
