The "Unable to drop to current folder in nautilus list view" has been an open bug since late 2002. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101938 When I first read about Papercuts this was what immeadiatly came to mind as it is a design related issue in a very central part of GNOME. It is precisely the kind of bug that requires a feature focus instead of a package focus. This, and the fact that you can learn to work around the issue is probably why it is still an open bug since 2002.
I am reattaching an illustration by Felix Rommel from the GMOME bug as I think it is good for basing the conversation around. ** Attachment added: "nautilus-drag-drop-impossible.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28061763/nautilus-drag-drop-impossible.png -- Drag 'n Drop in list view doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
