Comment 7 for bug 772445

Omer & Andrea,

Yes, I'm running a fully up-to-date oneiric system. Info:

Firefox: Nightly/9.0a1 (2011-09-06) (mozilla.org build)
Unity --version: unity 4.12.0

Regarding the steps, it's pretty straight forward. Load firefox, select some texts and/or images, then start dragging. You'll notice firefox freezes for 1 to 5 seconds.

If the bug can't be addressed in time for 11.10, I suggest the devs should create a blacklist of applications to disable drag-drop unity functions. I.e., if you drag text/images from firefox, unity shouldn't go through whatever function it executes to black out some icons in launcher.
