Bug Description

Inkscape 0.91 and 0.92

When dragging a symbol in the docked symbols dialog, away from its current position, but not outside the boundaries of the symbols dialog, it is inserted in the middle of the current viewport when the mouse button is released.

When doing the same from a floating symbols dialog, the behaviour is as expected: the symbol just slides back to its original position in the dialog.

A symbol that is not dragged onto the drawing should not be inserted into the drawing.

Based on tests with archived builds (on OS X):
- not reproduced with lp:inkscape 11783 <= rev <= 11878,

- reproduced with Inkscape 0.91 r13725,
- reproduced with Inkscape 0.92.0 r15299,
- reproduced with lp:inkscape/0.92.x rev 15315;
it seems that this behavior is present as described since the initial implementation of the drag&drop support to insert a symbol into the current document:
