It's not a duplicate of the other bug it was linked to, so I have
removed that link.
This is a feature regression, is confusing and inconsistent, (perhaps
this doesn't qualify it as a bug).
The other 'bug' relates to not being able to use bookmarks for moving
files/folders around the filesystem by dragging them onto Nautilus
bookmarks (which was is a deliberate choice by Gnome).
My 'bug' is that it's impossible to even ADD a bookmark by dragging,
which is the feature Gnome chose to preserve in this discussion! It only
applies to the FIRST bookmark. Once you have added one folder, then
drag-to-link becomes possible under the Bookmarks heading.
Even accepting the Gnomic logic about the ambiguity of drag-to-link
versus drag-to-move, they chose to favour drag-to-link.
Making it impossible to drag-to-link the FIRST bookmark isn't consistent
with their logic. It's to do with the build of Ubuntu which makes Home,
Desktop, Documents, Downloads not 'Bookmarks', but something different
under 'Computer' - a collection of shortcuts which prevent drag-to-link,
and facilitate drag-to-move.
As it turns out, you can't create new items under the Computer heading
at all, I think. Quite a mess.
