If I can chime in with a comment to the developers (if anyone is listening here): I am used to never use drag and drop of attachment on TB now, given the really broken behavior.
Suggestion: ditch the thing completely. Remove drag and drop. For good. It's so broken it is more a danger(1) than any other thing, and it is not so necessary in the end, you can live with "save as..." and company. I suppose that a bug like that not fixed in 7 years means it's too complex to fix; let's accept it and move on. Leaving an half-baked functionality is much worse than not having it. (1) because sometime it *seems* to work; it creates an icon from which the content is not accesible at all, and can lead to data loss for unsuspecting users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381017 Title: Cannot drag attachment from mail attachment pane to desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/381017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
