Public bug reported:

I get occasional freezes when moving windows from one desktop to another
by dragging them with the mouse in the Workspace Switcher view.

Perhaps one in 50-100 drags, I'm stuck in the four workspaces view, with
the mouse cursor in the shape of a clutching hand (as when a window is
currently being dragged), unable to let go of the window. When moving
the mouse and pressing a keyboard button (I tried left alt), the window
I'm stuck dragging gets moved on screen, but only moving the mouse does
not move the window on screen - i.e only the mouse cursor moves, until I
pressed left alt, and then the window appeared where the mouse was.

Alt-shift works in this weird mode, so does print screen. I alt-tabbed
to my console and issued sudo init 6 to escape this situation.
