How can this even be "importance low"? Doesn't anybody realize the huge SECURITY RISK this bug involves?
You drag a file onto a folder, for just a fraction of a second more than the time it takes for the folder to auto-open. Then you drop it, but when you do, the folder has just opened and you have accidentally dropped the file onto a subfolder within the folder. Unless you double check, you may not realize where you have moved the file and you may loose it forever. You may have moved it (without realizing) into a subfolder that you will later delete, without knowing it contains a file that you never intended to move into it. This is DISASTROUS. We already know that Nautilus development has degenerated into complete dementia, and that until it gets repleced with something else in Ubuntu, it constantly needs patching to revert regressions like this one (which are made on purpose, because of demential design). But an issue like this should be considered high importance, if not critical, as it can lead to DATA LOSS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When dragging and dropping a file, if the mouse hovers over a folder for a split second, the folder opens. This behaviour is quite jarring. Whether or not you intended to drop into that folder, you may not have intended to open that folder. The hover time can't be set. And the behaviour can't be disabled. It's a very significant usability issue for Ubuntu 13.10.
