Bug Description

feels like it might be a result of a desire for the browser/oxide engine to have a drag-n-drop object. would be nice to suppress until we have something for drag-n-drop

 To reproduce...
 1) go to this bug's webpage in the ubuntubrowser on unityy8
 2) take the cursor to the "Answers" link
 3) click and hold, as to drag "Answers"

 At this point a full window will popup.
 while this isn't harmful, it's extremely disorienting for users.

We use the QDrag API here, with Qt opening the window. The only fix for this is to disable drag and drop support

Is this something we still need to fix in Oxide?
