Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Ubuntu Version: 7.10 64Bit
Evaluation: This is caused by the compiz reflection plugin. Disabling has been confirmed to fix this in various comments in this bug.
Warning: Bug Crashes System
In the latest Gutsy with all available updates, Applications will cause an entire system to lock up when an object is dragged within it.
Reproducible as Below:
1. Find an image, block of text; anything selectable.
2. Click and drag somewhere else inside the browser window. (Desktop drag untested.)
3. Let go of the mouse.
4. System will freeze except for the mouse. Only way out is to power off by button or (safer) holding Alt and SysRq/Print Screen and typing REISUB.
Bug seems to be caused by the Reflection plugin as reported by numerous users.
Possible correlation with Intel graphics cards
