Description aaron 2002-03-13 02:59:47 UTC 
Using nautilus2-1.1.9.0.200203112229-snap.ximian.1

To reproduce: 
Open a terminal window (you'll be glad you did)
Take an html file on your desktop and any other file.
Right-click on the file and select open-in-Mozilla. 
Pick up the other file and begin waving it around.
When the Mozilla window appears, but before it is rendered, drop the other
file into it.

You will lose your mouse functionality until you alt-tab to the terminal
and killall -9 nautilus. (see, you did need that terminal).

I had to restart X when this happend while i was cleaning up my desktop
without a terminal in that desktop view.

mouse-grab -> high
Comment 2 aaron 2002-03-13 19:26:47 UTC 
Changing description-- this happens to me about a third of the time,
for all drag-and-drop operations (into Evolution for attachments, for
example).
Comment 3 Anders Carlsson 2002-04-21 19:46:55 UTC 
This looks like a gtk+ bug then. Re-assigning. (I couldn't reproduce
the bug though)
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-05-01 02:34:37 UTC 
Resetting severity/priority but adding GNOME2.0.0 keyword.
Comment 5 Carlos Perelló Marín 2002-05-15 11:50:13 UTC 
It also happens to me.

I can fix it using Ctr+Alt+Tab to switch between panel and desktop.


It's a really bad bug but I don't know how to reproduce it, sorry.

It happens without using drag and drop.

Tentatively marking as a dup of bug 80420
