Interestingly this bug has resurfaced in Ubuntu MATE 17.10. I have tracked this does to `unity-gtk-module` which is loaded in Ubuntu MATE 17.10 but has not been used in prior releases.
If GTK_MODULES does not includes `unity-gtk-module` then this issue does not present. ** Also affects: caja (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: caja (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690407 Title: Dragging icons on desktop pulls a part of background as well (Artful) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/caja/+bug/1690407/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
