Same issue on my Ubuntu 17.10 beta, freshly installed (no upgrade). Just for completeness, this behaviour happens by just dragging a file from desktop to any other window of nautilus (no shift key necessary).
Dragging from nautilus to desktop works. Dragging from nautilus to another nautilus windows works. Cut/Paste from/to desktop works. It's the dragging action from desktop that looks flawed. If useful, here is a screen recording that shows the issue (well, the initial mouse drag and subsequent click attempts are not clearly visible but I think that one can get the idea of the problem): https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjzqucqb7hdcnvy/Screencast_drag_issue_ubuntu-17-10-beta.mp4?dl=0 -- 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/1716277 Title: Moving a file to another folder, holding shift key, blocks mouse pointer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1716277/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
