Drag & drop from the desktop freezes partially the PC

[winux]

Hi

I'm running 17.10 today's update (2017-08-12)

I've put on the deskop 2 kinds of files : xx.txt and yy.odt
If I right click on anyone, then cut & paste in Data Perso partition for ex, fine
if I drag & drop instead, the file is frozen, some opened windows the same.

The only exit is : Ctrl+Alt+Del to close and open the session

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)
Release: 17.10

I received and read your wiki to find the appli package, but "my bug" just corresponds to "drag and drop" which does not seem to be an appli package.
How can I help you then ?

This bug seems related with Nautilus ("If your problem is with the actual desktop (for example, with desktop icons")

[Gustavo Silva (gsilvapt)]

According to user's description, the bug seems related with nautilus.

@g-vaquant, could you follow the steps here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOME#Debugging_specific_GNOME_applications) related with nautilus to try and add more information to this bug report?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Gustavo
I don't really know what to send you.
I give you some info about Nautilus: added shell extensions
- Dash to panel
- Extensions
- Force quit
- Lock keys
- no topleft hot corner
- recent items
- touchpad indicator

g-vaquant, you should be able to reproduce your issue and run this command in the terminal to get the log: G_DEBUG="all" NAUTILUS_DEBUG="All" nautilus Then you can add the log here in LP.
Hope I was able to help.

And thanks for your contribution so far!

Hi again Gustavo
I Just come back from vacation, I did not bring this PC, then when I
arrived I just updated it, and from now on, no Pb any more.
I suspect the latest updates solved the issue.
Thx for your concern, you can now turn this bug to fixed
Have a nice evening

Dear all,
I switched to 17.10 on Friday and I noticed the same exact problem.
This is not solved, because my Ubuntu version is fully updated.
when I drag and drop files from the desktop to an open nautilus window, the mouse cursor gets stacked and the only solution to unblock the situation is to restart the laptop.
Killing nautilus does not solve the problem, therefore it seems unlikely to me that the bug is related to nautilus.

[Joshua Finkler (jfinkler)]

i can confirm that this is problem for me as well, have seen it on two fresh and fully updated installs of 17.10, each on a thinkpad t530. --josh

that seems similar to bug #1704765
