Drag & drop stops working after a while

[Kim Alvefur]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

After a while drag & drop stops working. Among other things, this prevents reordering of tabs.

This in .xsession-errors could be relevant.

Just happened to me on the same version of Firefox (3.5.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1), Ubuntu karmic, x86_64. Anything that can normally be dragged (bookmarks, tabs, etc.) can't be dragged anymore. After restarting Firefox, drag and drop works again.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
