Description Dietmar Kling 2002-05-20 14:03:42 UTC 
i tried to drag from the GTK+ 2.0.2  testdnd
(gtk+-2.0.2/tests/testdnd) to a the java swing demo from sun
(under jdk 1.4).  You can find the demo under
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/swing/1.4/JLabelDragNDrop.java.

When i Drag from the "Drag Here" Button into the Textfield, the
Text "I'm Data" is displayed and then the Mouse Pointer freezes.
(You can still move around but you can not click on anything anymore).

When you switch to console with keyboard and you kill testdnd
everything works again. 

Remarks: 

* The reason why i tried testnd is: I tried the same in 
nautilus, with the same symptoms.

* Erwann Chénedé,  of Sun Microsystems, Ireland [Erwann.Chenede@Sun.COM]
  confirmed on gtk-list that this is an gtk bug

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-05-20 15:22:06 UTC 
Motif DND is extremely buggy, so the GTK+ code has never
worked especially well. But hopefully we can at least prevent
stuck grabs. (This *might* be fixed in a change currently
in CVS; so once 2.0.3 is out, it would be good to try again.)
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2002-10-24 16:58:38 UTC 
Move various non-critical bugs onto 2.2.1 milestone.
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2003-01-23 20:09:08 UTC 
Seems to work fine for me with GTK+-2.2.0. Please reopen
if you still see a problem.
