Dragging a video restarts it

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: totem

I'm using ubuntu jaunty, and it seems that dragging from inside totem's window to a folder no longer links the video file, but copies it instead. While this is cool, it seems to have brought a nasty side effect: dragging from inside the window and then releasing WITHOUT leaving the window results in the video restarting, like it was loaded again.

This can be a problem if the user wants to double-click and drags instead, which is likely to happen on a touchpad.

I do this so often that I instinctively look at the time elapsed every time I double click on a movie, so I know where to resume when it restarts.

My wife has complained about this so much that I downloaded, patched from upstream, built and packaged it myself. I've uploaded it to my PPA [0] if anyone else is interested.
