Description Marc E. 2005-06-28 04:45:57 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When you try to drag a link from a web browser, in this case Mozilla Firefox
(one point zero +), to a folder in the desktop, it doesnt allow you. You can
drag it to the desktop, but not to a folder, if you try to drag it in top of a
folder, that folder inst selected, or appear selected, therefore making it
impossible

Steps to reproduce:



Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Thanks for your bu greport!
This is indeed an issue. It would IMHO be nice if Nautilus would support
dragging more drag targets to subfolders of the viewed folder than just icon lists.

Milestoning to 2.14.
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2005-10-03 12:28:08 UTC 
Mass changing Nautilus version for bugs that have GNOME 2.13 version info.

Its been 7 months or so by now, such a shame nobody was able to provide a fix for this... and that there are duplicates going around..
Comment 7 Ed Catmur 2007-02-24 17:16:24 UTC 
Wasn't this fixed by http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/nautilus/trunk/src/file-manager/fm-directory-view.c?view=log#rev12351 ?
Seems to work for me with 2.17.91, anyway.
Comment 8 Marcus Carlson 2009-10-09 22:12:56 UTC 
Also seems to work for me with 2.28 - I think it's safe to close.
