launcher - drag and drop of gedit text windows leaves launcher in drop state

[Alan Bell]

grap a tab from a gedit window and drag it over the launcher then drop it on the desktop somewhere, this leaves the launcher in the state of accepting a drop event, with just the valid drop targets highlighted and the rest muted.

Thank you for reporting this bug. I can confirm this on 13.04 with unity trunk.

The likely cause is it expects a drop on the Launcher, and when you leave the launcher Nux no longer tracks events. So a possible fix would be to reset drag and drop when the launcher get a mouse leave event from nux.

Also to get out of this state, just open and close the dash!

Same happens when dragging a link out from chromium...
