- [groovy] Drag and drop files from Desktop to Nautilus freezes gnome-
- shell in Ubuntu 20.10 (beta).
+ [Impact]
+
+ Drag and drop files from Desktop to Nautilus freezes gnome-shell in
+ Ubuntu 20.10. There is no way to recover without killing gnome-shell
+ externally or rebooting.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ 1. Create a file in ~/Desktop
+ 2. Open a nautilus (Files) window of a different directory.
+ 3. Drag the new file from the desktop into the nautilus (Files) window.
+
+ The shell should not become unresponsive. Also, the drag is expected to
+ fail and snap back. That's a different issue (bug 1813441) not being
+ fixed here.
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ An extension with syntax errors may fail to load leaving the user with
+ reduced shell functionality. A more faulty extension might crash the
+ entire shell after loading.
