Summary: plasma handles are slippery devils

Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org

Several aspects of the plasmoid handles confound my expectations.
First, they sometimes move based on the plasmoid's screen position. Sometimes they're on the right, sometimes on the left - I can't figure out what causes this behavior, and it confuses and upsets me.
Second, if I want to resize, the plasma handles only appear if I hover over the plasmoid - but they disappear as soon as I overshoot the handle edge. I.e., I do this: hover over the plasmoid to make the handles appear (which takes a noticeable fraction of a second); then move my mouse to click the resize or rotate handle or whatever. But my mouse control is not very precise, so sometimes I overshoot by 1 or 2 pixels. The handle vanishes. My mouse cursor is now 10 or 12 pixels away from the plasmoid, and I must move it back onto the plasmoid to try again. Annoying - a little tolerance for my humanity would be appreciated.
