I get something like this when dragging videos into vlc. Usually if i notice it hanging - i.e. the dragged icon doesn't follow the mouse, or the mouse is not moving at all, I do not let go of the mouse button, and move the cursor around a bit, and after like 3 seconds the system restores to normal operation - i.e. the dragged file moves with the mouse again.
Before I didn't do that and after i let go of the button it was permanently frozen, the keyboard does not respond. Not even Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring works - apparently kernel level keyboard reading.... -- Gnome freezes with drag / drop to 2 different windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
