The task list currently supports switching to windows when dragging something by hovering the drag mouse over the task button of a window.

This is not supported for grouped tasks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




Suggested implementation:
When one, during a drag-drop operation, hovers the mouse cursor over the button of a grouped task, the menu of the task group (the one that pops up when one clicks on the button normally) should pop up instantly.
* One can then move the mouse corsor to the menu, and hover over a menu item. After a slight time delay, the corresponding window should be switched to. It may be best to let the menu stay open.
* One can move the mouse cursor out of both the button and the menu, in order to close the menu again.

This is actually a bit more complicated than it would seem at first. You can't use the normal popup mechanism of the menu, because that wil ltry to grab the keyboard and pointer, which will fail because the drag operation already has the grab. However, we should be able to copy a most of the required code from the panel launcher menu.

I'm putting this in 'general', because it must be implemented in libxfcegui4.

Thanks for the report.

I can reproduce this on 4.4.x

Any thought on implementing this one?

Should this bug be closed (WONTFIX?), now that the panel uses libwnck?

Appears still not fixed to me in 4.6.1 on ArchLinux.
I think this is a very annoying bug. It may prevent users used to this feature from migrating from some 'other OS'. :/
