Mouse cursor fbecame stuck in the "drag and drop mode" when I grabbed files from archive manager and attempted to drag to nautilus.

[Seija K.]

When I attempted to drag the contents of the gcc subfolder in the gcc-10.1.0 source from a .xz file in archive manager and drop the results in the gcc subfolder of the extracted archive in nautilus, the cursor became stuck in the "drag and drop" mode without initiating the drag and drop. In this state, I was unable to click anything, and the enter button would be ignored, preventing me from entering any commands, forcing me to do a hard reboot.

In case the problem is caused by some extension, please run 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' and see if disabling some/all of them avoids the bug.
