I've noticed this bug in two places so far: 1. When I add an application icon to the panel. 2: When clicking on the buttons which appear when you mouse over the yellow blob in the top right of the desktop.

I use a graphics tablet, and so it is almost impossible to click and release the mouse in exactly the same position - the pointer will usually move a pixel or two during the click. However, in at least the two places I listed, plasma requires no movement of the mouse between press and release - which makes it pretty much unuseable for a graphics tablet user.

Excepted behaviour: I would expect that once the mouse has been pressed, it can move around as much as you like - including off the icon, and the click event would still be fired so long as the pointer was within the icon when the mouse button was released.
