Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: 1) set launcher to autohide (system prefs > appearance > behavior) 2) drag something to the launcher, e.g. a manually created, valid desktop entry
expected: launcher shows and item can be dropped actual behavior: scared launcher does not show :-) I guess this is intended to not disturb drag&drop operations in some applications by popping up the launcher. There are various workarounds, of course, in particular the intended way to add applications is "opening + keep in launcher", which - however - may not work with some manually created desktop entries.
