Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When using Firefox in Natty, I often find that if there a link that I need to click on that is quite close to the left edge of the screen I sometimes accidently drag the link towards the launcher area causing it to pop out. The problem with this is that as soon as the 'ghost' of the link (which follows the cursor as you drag it) touches the launcher the whole system seems to lock up for a period of 10-15 seconds.

Steps to reproduce:

1.) Open a page in Firefox.
2.) Click and drag on a link and bring it over to the launcher
3.) Observe that the link ghost sticks on the launcher and the system becomes unresponsive

Update: After a reboot it doesn't stick for as long as 10-15 seconds, but it's still noticable.
