Slingshot doesn't hide after dragging icons

[Andrea Basso]

Try dragging an icon and drop it anywhere, now click outside Slingshot. It
won't close :(

Sorry for all those status updates, I've just misclicked too many times :(

What's wrong with this behavior? I like to be able to drag as many launchers as I want (to the dock) without having to re-open slingshot.

Try dragging an icon and drop it anywhere, now click outside Slingshot. It
won't close, this is what the bug's about ;)

[Victor Martinez (victored)]

Ah! It makes sense now; thanks for the clarification. That should have been part of the description because the title doesn't sound like a bug ;)

I'm digging into this one, and it looks like the problem lies with the fact that the button_release_event is not called anymore after the drag is finished.

[Jaap Broekhuizen (jaapz-b)]

During the drag the main popover window loses the pointer grab, and doesn't get it back after the drag has ended. Pressing escape to close Slingshots resets the behaviour because it restores the pointer in the hide() method. I haven't got any further yet...

Bug confirmed. On a laptop with propietary AMD drivers (fglrx 9.002) it leads to a complete crash of X server.

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Proprietary AMD drivers are not supported because support for pantheon/gnome-shell/mutter is still in development by AMD.

The taken solution is, IMO, wrong. https://bugs.launchpad.net/granite/+bug/1094015
