Description

Currently if the behavior is set to keep the active window centered, dragging and dropping between windows causes a rapid scroll to the start or end of the row.

My preferred solution is that during drag&drop it only scrolls when there is active mouse pressure on the side of the screen (the same thing used for screen edge gestures in Plasma itself).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rapid scroll while the active window is centered and a drag-and-drop operation moves between windows. Trace the drag-and-drop scrolling and screen-edge gesture behavior; done means dragging does not move windows or rapidly scroll the row unless there is active mouse pressure at the screen edge.
