As I already mentioned, I am aware that nautilus is triggering the problem. However, no program should be able to bring down the desktop by doing bad UI operations. Period.
So wether metacity or Xorg or anything I never even heard of is the right space to solve this issue is out of my reach, because I don't know their parts in handling drag and drop operations. The developers would know. If you tell me "metacity has no part in drag and drop at all", I guess Xorg is to blame, so you maybe move the bug there? ** Also affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
