Description jhansonxi 2010-02-11 06:42:51 UTC 
On a dual-head (non-xinerama) system, Gedit doesn't support drag-n-drop of text between separate sessions on different heads.  With 2.28.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 (Karmic Koala) it doesn't do anything.  On previous versions it would hang and consume 100% CPU.

We don't really do anything special with DND of text (this is handled by GtkTextView). I suppose this is a gtk+ bug. I'm reassigning, but feel free to assign back if it turns out that there is something specific that makes it a gedit bug.

dnd can't work between separate sessions.
