Dragging files/folders to trash leaves behind ugly outlines.

[Matthew Pirocchi]

When I drag files or folders to docky's trash can, it leaves behind their outline (see screenshot). This stays until log out.

Additionally, as soon as the files I am dragging are hovering over the dock, their outlines cease to move along with the files/folders. I tried to get a video of this behavior, but it wasn't recording properly, so you'll have to try it yourself.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select AT LEAST TWO files/folders.
2. Drag them anywhere over docky. Observe that outlines cease to move along with the files/folders.
3. Release them on the trash can. Observe that the outlines persist.

I am running Gnome Do 0.8.2 on Ubuntu 9.04 with Gnome and Compiz.

Docky 1 (the Do theme version of Docky) has reached the end of its maintenance period and is no longer being supported. Docky 2 (the stand-alone application) is a complete rewrite and thus may or may not be affected by this bug.

Please feel free to install Docky 2 (PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~docky-core/+archive/ppa or souce: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Installing_Docky) and see if your bug still occurs. If it does, please file the bug against lp:docky (not lp:do!).

Just tested in Docky2. This bug still exists.

OP,

Can you test in latest Docky once more? I can't confirm for r819. It may have already been fixed ;)

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

Confirmed in rev 819.

You have to drag them from your desktop in order to trigger it ;)

FYI the part about the outlines 'no longer moving' once you get over the dock, I dont think we can help that.

The outlines are drawn by nautilus (on the desktop, which is drawn by nautilus). Once we get over the dock, nautilus doesnt get the mouse motion events anymore... so it cant update those outlines.

I *think* the reason the outlines never go away is because we fail to properly notify nautilus the drag ended. Thats my hunch anyway.

This might be cause by Nautilus not re-drawing the desktop after a drag ends. Thus it might be on their end.
