Bug Description
This is hard to explain because I'm not an OS guru, but when I use Amarok 1.4 to drag-n-drop a new item into the playlist, everything except the mouse freezes. I am able to right click on a selection and 'apend to playlist' with no problem and I haven't noticed anything else about the program that causes this. I have tried to wait about half an hour for it to clear up, but it does not. It does not matter what I am trying to add to the playlist, whether it be from a radio stream or from my own collection, everything (except the mouse) freezes and I am not able to click on anything.
I have loaded a lot of software on to my Dell Latitude D520 laptop before I noticed it, so I am not sure if some other program is conflicting with it.
I am willing to post any logs I may have upon request.
So do you mean just the program is freezing, or is all of X freezing? In other words, is it Amarok that is freezing, or is it everything on your desktop?
This happens when you drag any file into the playlist, no matter where it's from? I assume you're dragging from Nautilus (the Gnome file manager, if you're using a stock Ubuntu install).
I have not seen this problem, and can drag and drop both files and folders into my Amarok just fine (usually). Sorry. =/ One thing you could try, since I don't know a whole lot, is simply making sure it's not something messed up with your install. If you have enough RAM for it, put in the Live CD and while inside that, install Amarok, and try it again. If the problem doesn't occur, something is messed up with your install. I'm assuming it is, because I have no problems with that on any of my machines.
