Public bug reported: What I expected to happen:
Being able to seamlessly drag and drop a file or folder to any destination. 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.
