I sent this to "QA" . . . but, right, this is the bug . . . that my iBook found earlier in the month, and then again a few days ago. What I didn't mention was what Lars also mentioned, when the mouse cursor "clenches" to drag the window . . . it doesn't "unclench." But, it is a "deal breaker" in terms of running 14.10 on the iBook . . . getting that the devs don't seem too concerned, but unlikely that I would take the time to change the video card from radeon to something else . . . .

=================================from the other day:

"Ran the 14.10 ppc live 10/16/14 "Alpha powerpc" iso this AM . . . briefly. But, on my iBook G4 w/640+-MB RAM . . . had to use the radeon fb boot parameters, booting with "live" does not work . . . in any event, when I got to the desktop the first thing I wanted to check was the "window dragging" issue that has been a problem for awhile . . . even 14.04 is not too outstanding. However, launching FF the window opens . . . bottom left says "transferring data" . . . which went on for several minutes . . . could not enter "Gmail" in the searchbar window . . . then found that I could do nothing anywhere else . . . "DE frozen" . . . I think I filed a bug about this in a recent test???

Rebooted back, and tried the menu, which opened . . . I then opened the File manager . . . clicking on stuff in the window . . . did not succeed . . . DE again Frozen . . . only way out is shut down. I'll try to get to the QA tracker thing, but, really seems like I've been here before . . . the things I've found as issues . . . remain."
