            Bug ID: 91946
           Summary: Protocol documentation should indicate when
                    wl_data_offer::accept requests should be sent
           Product: Wayland
           Version: 1.5.0
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at gnome.org

The Wayland protocol documentation does not define when wl_data_offer::accept
requests should be sent. It would be good to discuss this as a guide to
implementors.

It only really makes sense to send these in response to wl_data_device::motion
events, and then only when the result has changed for a given MIME type, so as
not to spam the drag source with unnecessary accept events. It makes sense to
send a separate accept event for each offered MIME type.
