Vincenzo, that's great news, but it still counts as a paper cut fixed
for Karmic, even if the fix happened upstream!

I downloaded the evince source in karmic (which I am now testing) to try
to paste the code above and... it's already there. In fact, the bug is
fixed in karmic.
We did not see this as there where no comments on this on the upstream
bug, but as devs where busier fixing it, that's only good news.

I've run across (or rather into) the described, highly annoying, behaviour
repeatedly
recently, and believe me, it can be regarded as a bug.
Thanks for reporting it.

Fair enough. :
Mat, let's keep this new. It has an easy fix, and I've seen it happen to
many people (including myself many times), resulting in great confusion
every time, so it's not a corner case.

Drag and drop of images is dangerous in evince
I grepped the source of evince for the "drag-data-received" gtk signal
and found nothing. Can some developer confirm that it is handled by
external (gnome?) libraries? If this is the case, is it like evince
itself can't decide to ignore a drop? If so do you know where to signal
this bug properly?
It does seem odd that evince deals with it in this way fullstop.
If we want to drag text on the same page, we have to select and then drag
otherwise nothing happens, whereas with an embedded image it can just be
dragged and will open up another version of evince with it inside.
Surely if we're ma
Sebastian, I just ask for the *drop* to be disabled on the *same*
window. This is surely feasible. Firefox does this. Of course it is nice
that you can drag an image e.g. on the desktop. Then I will report the
other bug on some graphics being able to be dragged, some other not.
This is certainly n
This is indeed a corner issue, marking invalid as papercut.

No it also works the same way in jaunty; it may have been fixed there
nevertheless, but the difficulty in finding a "heavy" pdf comes from the
fact that not all pdfs have drag-able images. I have many scanned books

It should have a trivial fix: do not accept drags from the same window.
The consequences, for PDFs which are scanned documents, are that if you
istinctively try to select text, or by mistake drag with your touchpad
over the evince window, you may need to hard-reboot or wait until the
system settles
The bug has been opened recently, got no duplicate and seems a rather
small corner issue rather than an hundredpapercut design issue

Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, this would work well also in
evince; OTOH, it is expected that dragging a file over evince loads it,
so making each windows not be a target for its own drags would likely
fix the bug.
Even if, I still dislike the behaviour also present in firefox to treat

Just making your description more specific:

If you drag an image from nautilus into the firefox window, it will b
I notice that the new behaviour in evince is probably inspired by that
of web browsers such as firefox. However, in firefox, I can't release an
image OVER the firefox window to have it loaded. This prevents the
problems above. To load an image by drag and drop in firefox I have to
