Description alex 2014-09-29 19:50:49 UTC 
steps to reproduce:
1. press window key to get in the overview page
2. drag a bookmark from the sidebar and drop it in the window overview
2. or alternatively drag one workingspace over the window overview
a crash occurs, the gnome-shell restarts

expected behaviour: nothing happens or the icon/workingspace floats back or fades out

This is a nuissance if you try to use gnome-shell with a wacom tablet and you are tired. Sometimes you drag accidentally the bookmark into the window overview and have a crash (this is why I use a mouse).
And after two crashes in a short time period the extensions are disabled.

This bug still occurs in gnome 3.14
Sorry, I should have reported it much earlier

System: 64bit,amd,ati
Distro: archlinux

I can't reproduce. Does it matter what launcher you drag from the sidebar in the overview? Does the same happen to you if you test with a freshly-created account?
Comment 2 alex 2014-09-29 19:58:00 UTC 
no every launcher crashes gnome-shell
Comment 3 alex 2014-09-29 20:00:05 UTC 
the whole drag and drop handling in the overview mode seems to be buggy: dragging a window results in a crash
Comment 4 Florian Müllner 2014-09-29 20:00:51 UTC 
Are you using any extensions? Do you still see this if you disable them?
Comment 5 alex 2014-09-29 20:05:34 UTC
