I marked this as a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1018215 because I'm confident both issues (drag and drop events being lost on panel fade, and lag during panel fade) have the same cause. It's worth noting neither bugs are present when the Unity plugin is disabled from within CCSM. It's also worth noting that when re-enabling the Unity plugin from within CCSM on Ubuntu 13.10, the panel fade animation during dragging doesn't initate, and neither this lag nor the lost drop events occur. So I conclude this bug is precisely related to the fade animation of the unity panel. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1018215 Unity launcher appearing interrupts GTK drag and drop operation (that's nowhere near the launcher) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

What really happened (See attached screencast): Initial lag when starting to drag the icon. Lag lasts as long as it takes the launcher to fade out all icons except the nautilus home icon. As soon as this fade out process is complete, dragging the icon works flawlessly again. Other notes: This worked fine initially. $lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 $apt-cache policy unity unity: Installed: 5.16.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 5.16.0-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 5.16.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.10.0-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages $apt-cache policy nautilus nautilus: Installed: 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages $ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
