Virtual desktops are shown in the middle of screen in GNOME Shell

Hi, since I use Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME Shell I see that the virtual desktops panel is shown in the middle of screen when I drag a file to the Activities corner. I didn't see this behavior in 17.10, so it's really strange for me.

I really like gnome-session, but I drag a lot of files through Activities, so to not see the bug I'm forced to use the Ubuntu session (now communitheme). Yes, it's really annoying.

I share a file to show how is the bug.

I'm using:
-Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit.
-GNOME 3.28.2 (provided by official repos).
-Linux 4.15.0-33-generic (but I saw the bug in all previous kernels released Ubuntu 18.04).

I saw the bug in two different GPUs:
-[AMD/ATI] RV630/M76 [Mobility Radeon HD 2600] with Mesa and free Radeon driver provided by official repos.
-MSI NVIDIA GTX 1050 with official proprietary driver.

I think is a general bug.

Please report this bug to the Gnome developers here:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/new

and then tell us the new bug ID.

It seems I didn't do a good explanation.

With the "I think is a general bug" sentence I tried to say that it doesn't mind the GPU configuration.

I don't see the same flaw in Fedora 28, that uses the same version of GNOME.

The only thing you have to do to reproduce the bug is to "smack" the top left corner with a file, dragging it with mouse cursor, in gnome-session of activating the hot corner with tweak tools y Ubuntu session.

Oh wow. Thanks, I can reproduce the bug now.

Thanks a lot! 👍
