Bug Description

To reproduce:

Open two Chrome windows and two Firefox windows. Drag a .html file over the Chrome icon in the Launcher. A spread of the two Chrome windows should appear. Then continue the same drag, and drag the file over the Firefox icon in the Launcher. Nothing happens, the Chrome spread is still displayed.

Desired behaviour;

After a spread appears as a result of the user dragging a file over a application icon in the Launcher, if the user then drags the file over a different application icon (where the application is also a valid drop receptacle for the file type) the spread should switch to the newly selected application.

Is this bug about switching between spreads on dnd to launcher or actually getting a spread on dnd?
(don't get a spread here, dnd'ed file just opens in new tab
Plus there is no dnd on .html (text/html) with firefox or chrome icons though there is with .xml (application/xml

[ Chris Townsend ]
* Bump version to 0.9.11.2.

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * Scale: use XShape extension to exclude dnd input in the screen-parts
    outside workArea This will work property also in multi-monitor,
    without requiring multiple X windows for each output device. Also
    don't terminate the scale unless a drag-n-drop action is not really
    over. Add a spinner that shows up over a window, during the DnD
    timeout. Plus, make sure we terminate the scale without focusing the
    selected icon when cancelling it and some code cleanup (LP: #607796)

This bug is marked Invalid for unity (Ubuntu) but Confrmed for unity (Ubuntu Trusty). I think that's mistake, and this bug should no longer affect the unity package.
