Description

When trying to mover/reorder tabs using mouse drag in IntelliJ IDE's (in my case CLion), if the mouse drag is not perfectly horizontal (moves only one pixel up/down), Hyprland will abort the drag operation and flip into what looks like an invalid drop/dock operation.

As soon as the drag moves only a single pixel in Y, a new Hyprland window with just the name of the tab is created in the middle of the screen, and CLion seems to think the dragged tab needs to be dropped somewhere, but this is not working. This makes is pretty much impossible to reorder tabs as it requires surgical precision controlling the mouse.

I never encountered this problem with CLion on other compositors or on X11

How to reproduce

Just open CLion (or probably any other JetBrains IDE), open some tabs and try to reorder them.

run it in native wayland mode https://blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2024/07/wayland-support-preview-in-2024-2/

@MightyPlaza I'm already running it in native wayland mode

are you sure? what does hyprctl clients say?

[w0utert]

Yes I have the WLToolkit option enabled in the Java settings and fractional scaling works (with XWayland it doesn't)

that's strange my guess would be a clion issue which means it should also happen on other wayland compositors (wlroots based specially) when running on native wayland mode

[w0utert]

I just tried with KDE, and while it has the same behavior, it is much less finicky over there, the amount of movement in Y before CLion decides to go into drop mode is about double of what it is in Hyprland. In KDE it's annoying but still usable, in Hyprland it is nearly impossible to drag any tabs at all.

You are probably correct that this may be a problem on the CLion side but then again it is strange Hyprland is much more sensitive to it considering the size/height of the tabs as displayed on screen is similar between KDE and Hyprland on my system.

[MightyPlaza]

like I said, hyprland is like to have the same behaviour as similar wlroots based compositors like sway, for example best solution is likely open an issue / check for an existing one in jetbrains tracker (maybe https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-5860/Wayland-implement-drag-and-drop-support)

[qweered]

Have same issue in Webstorm and with Vivaldi browser tabs reordering (both run in native Wayland)

[w0utert]

@MightyPlaza just checked on macOS, and CLion has very similar behavior there, except (just like KDE wayland) it is much less sensitive. So I don't think there is a bug in CLion itself, because it behaves the same everywhere.

The only difference on Hyprland, is that the drag & drop sensitivity for Y-movement is ridiculously high to the point it makes dragging & dropping tabs nearly impossible. Since KDE wayland doesn't have this to nearly the same degree, my guess is that it's not a problem in the Wayland protocol or how CLion uses it, but in some aspect of Hyprland's implementation, maybe there is some drag => drop threshold somewhere in the code that needs a little tweaking?

Edit: Most of this message is irrelevant to Hyprland

The bigger problem is that once the tab is detached there's no way to reattach it. The intended functionality is being able to reattach it anywhere in the tab bar, or make a new split if you drop on the editor itself.

Drag and dropping files in the file explorer (to move them around) also just straight up doesn't work.

Not sure how solveable this is on Hyprland's end, but JetBrains IDEs are unfortunately unusable for me atm (I'm sure there are other issues, I've only spent like 30 mins in IntelliJ)

Edit: Most "Drag and and drop" functionality probably just isn't supported by the IDE itself on Wayland yet

Edit 2: Drag and drop feature issue tracker

[w0utert]

I've also filed https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-42069/Dragging-reordering-tabs-is-nearly-impossible-in-Wayland-native-mode so let's see if/what JetBrains has something to say about it.

I'm still not fully convinced this is only a JetBrains problem, considering in KDE Wayland reordering tabs works better than in Hyprland.

I will close this if it turns out the problem is completely on the JetBrains side.

[nickodei]

Hmm, I find it strange because I use CLion on Hyprland with native Wayland support and it works with no problems. I can drag the tabs as I want without any hustle and without any hyper-sensitivity so I don't think it is really a Wayland problem.
