Description Vadim Peretokin 2008-06-27 12:32:50 UTC 
Right now, when you're dragging a file over the sidebar, nautilus will check / attempt to move the file there as you drag it over the icon. So for example if you manage to drag it over "Network Servers", it'll freeze itself or the whole computer as it's checking for the network servers.

Logically, it should only check when you released the mouse button.

http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10338/ has more support for this.

This is really a dupe of bug 536437; the problem is not that we're checking when you pull an icon over it, it's the way we're checking. We should be using asynchronous I/O there, and not blocking the process.
