Bingo: I can reliably reproduce the bug now. It involves quickly clicking an icon and moving the mouse away, nearly at the same time: if the mouse movement is too late, a normal click is performed, and if the click release is too late, the gesture turns into the normal drag / swipe gesture of the entire icon row.
It seems that thrashing the disk makes it easier to hit this edge case, but now that i know how, i can easily trigger it while the system is idle, too. Can a developer advise me on how to generate debug logs or traces relating to icon mouse events? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/768812 Title: [launcher] icons no longer active after an incomplete drag (no reliable way to reproduce yet) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
