I'm glad(?) to report that the same problem exists on a fresh install.
On the Screenshot attachment the window on the right (2 GB Media) is a USB pen drive containing some of my back-up stuff. The window on the left is my 'home' folder. I had dragged a folder from the pen drive to 'home' passing over the '2 GB Media' shortcut seen highlighted in the side pane. At that point the little d'n'd windowlet froze in place - I hit [Esc] a few times hoping to cancel the operation - after perhaps half minute a window popped up showing the copy progress - I clicked [cancel] and closed the window - after about the same delay another window popped up complaining that the system didn't get a signal (from the copy operation?) which I closed - I could then go on. I've attached the output from the Sysinfo application for your reading enjoyment.
