Dragging files to trash icon (deleting) does not work

[Callahan]

When dragging a file from the desktop to the unity trash icon, the file is not moved nor deleted. The files slips back to its former desktop position.

This bug appears with both the internal touch pad and an extra USB mouse.

It does not seem to me as beeing hardware related, but the test case asked to file a bug with "ubuntu-bug linux". For me it seems more to be unity related.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

It seems to be a Unity issue.

[Callahan (thomas-born)]

Upstream kernel test done: 3.4.0-999-generic_3.4.0-999.201204030410

Bug solved halve-way: dragging into the trash-bin works now.

BUT: dragging to the home-folder icon opens the home folder but does not move the file :-(

closing since that comments state it's working in the current version
