icons dragging on desktop and high CPU usage

[Wade Olson]

I received this email from the original poster before JRT's post:

"Hello
Thanks for reply. You were right, the bug is there (or I hope it's the
same think...). I wrote to
kde-quality, because I don't think it's really a bug. Then I could
say, that text scrolling is slow
and now correct it :-). What confused me is that this defect is in KDE so long.
Best regards P.Havlicek"

Welcoming new posters and giving them the confidence to open bug
accounts and participate can be done well.  Or it can be done poorly.
