Description Valent Turkovic 2012-01-24 14:37:07 UTC 
Alt-Tab functionality is not available while dragging a file from a nautilus window. My expectation is that I would be able to start a drag operation, bring the drop target window to the front using alt-tab, then drop the file into the target window. What actually happens is that during a drag operation window switcher dialog does not appear when alt-tab is pressed.

This is a regression of one old GNOME 2.x bug that got squashed:
