Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Using unity 3.2.0 in natty, clicking on an icon in the launcher and doing a vertical dnd moves the stack of icons in the launcher, that's confusing. Why not allowing moving icons this way in the bar or just block the move? The animation leads users to think they start some action where in fact they don't, that often comes on IRC as a source of confusion.
The usuability testing in maverick seems to have pointed that as an issue as well...
