Public bug reported: I get occasional freezes when moving windows from one desktop to another by dragging them with the mouse in the Workspace Switcher view.
Perhaps one in 50-100 drags, I'm stuck in the four workspaces view, with the mouse cursor in the shape of a clutching hand (as when a window is currently being dragged), unable to let go of the window. When moving the mouse and pressing a keyboard button (I tried left alt), the window I'm stuck dragging gets moved on screen, but only moving the mouse does not move the window on screen - i.e only the mouse cursor moves, until I pressed left alt, and then the window appeared where the mouse was. Alt-shift works in this weird mode, so does print screen. I alt-tabbed to my console and issued sudo init 6 to escape this situation.
