Bug Description
Binary package hint: file-roller
When opening an archive with File Roller and dragging files out of it to, for example, the desktop does not work the first time if the user is too fast.
If you drag the files over the desktop without dropping them, you see a progress bar in File Roller showing the extraction progress. Dropping the files before the background extraction is complete results in nothing happening. If you drag the files a second time File Roller starts extracting them _after_ they have been dropped, compared to the first time when it extracts them during dragging (and stops abrubtly when the user drops them prematurely, which is the bug).
Proposal:
* Make File Roller continue the extraction process initiated in the first drag when the files are dropped. Alternatively use the behaviour from the second drag, where files are extracted after the drop.

I've just tested it, and the second behaviour is the one that should be used for both, I think.
