Can't add an address to bookmarks toolbar by dragging.

[Binoy Babu]

On attempting to add an url to bookmarks bar by dragging it, the system freeezes for a few seconds and then resumes. Url will not be added to the bookmarks bar. This bug affects chromium-browser and firefox. Other browsers might be involved but was not tested.

I cannot reproduce this with the latest build of chromium (17.0.963.56~r121963-0ubuntu3). This appears to work fine.

With Firefox this works by dragging the favicon to the Bookmarks bar. Has it ever worked with dragging the URL?

I can't drag favicon, system freezes when I try.
