chromium/chrome dragging tab on touchscreen never drops

[fje]

This is on unity/ubuntu 13.10
Working on thinkpad t440s with touchscreen
Using both Chromium and Google-chrome

When I pick up a browsertab using the touchscreen, it can never let go. It doesn't matter if I go to another mouse device or any button I press, and I can't get back control over the system. Not with alt-tab or any other key combination will allow me to continue working, I can just keep dragging the browsertab around.

Only way to stop it is Ctrl-Alt-f1 and kill the browser from outside of unity.

I think it should be considered unity bug or touchscreen bug because this behaviour could be in any piece of software.
