Why do you think that Metacity is the one who freezes? Have you tried other window managers and/or sessions and this happens only with Metacity?
The thing is that Metacity does not do anything with drag and drop so that might be bug in nautilus and/or xserver. Can you provide steps that I can use to reproduce problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741902 Title: Drag and drop state may be freezed by rogue application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1741902/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
