            Bug ID: 509912
           Summary: Allow scrolling using scrollwheel when dragging items
                    in the viewport
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First 25.08.1
       Reported In:
          Platform: EndeavourOS
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When using click-hold and drag on an item (hence, visually moving the item),
the scroll wheel becomes unusable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a folder with enough items to expose the view's scroll functionality
2. Select an item and click-hold (using mouse LMB) and drag it, so that the
visual cue of "moving the file" gets activated. Keep it held
3. Use the scroll wheel

OBSERVED RESULT
Unable to notice the scroll-wheel having any effect

EXPECTED RESULT
The scroll wheel should cause the scroll action as it normally does

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: EndeavourOS 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.16.7-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
By contrast, using click-hold and drag for selection allows using the
scroll-wheel at the same time.

Having to rely upon moving the cursor to just the right location in the view
that it starts moving the scroll-bar, is not fun to use. It feels like being
constricted to slower behaviour despite having an input device that can do
better.
