I'd like to confirm the weird behavior reported by kjoe in posts #23 and #25.

In fact, kjoe, this weird "every second time" behavior seems to happen on a "per target" basis. Try dnd-extracting to target1 (e.g., desktop), target 2 (some folder), target 1, target 2, and so on, without striving the other target with the mouse in between the individual trials (place your windows accordingly).

When I did that, using file-roller, I got "Crash (on target 1), Crash ( on target 2), Success (t1), Success (t2), Crash (t1), Crash (t2)" and so forth.

Can this be confirmed?

Side note: The bug has been reported at pcmanfm bugtracker already (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3496591&group_id=156956&atid=801864). They indicate that the actual bug is originated within pcmanfm, whereas the X-blocking is due to the way file-roller is handling the error situation. Since there is no X-block when using xarchiver instead of file-roller, this sounds logical to me.
