Sebastian: I think everyone runs into this, and they think it's their
mistake to have dragged over the same window. Does it not happen to you?
Something annoying that the system does and brings the user into fearing
to do some action because it may lead to "mistakes" is an usability bug.
E.g. when evince is opened on my laptop I noticed that I have an
istinctive fear of touching my laptop's touchpad by mistake. This is
what led me to report the bug in principle.

Here is a link to a sample document; it's not so heavy to swap out your
gnome session but if you drag a page and release you'll notice it causes
high system load for a while and brings up the same page of the
document, thus causing the confusion I described above.
