Comment 16 for bug 995039

This bug is three years old already, and it's unassigned. It's not a duplicate of bug #607796 as Valdisvi and Dmitry Pashkevich mentioned. The problem affects me as well, and it persists in Ubuntu 14.04, 32-bit and 64-bit editions. It's not a feature if it's a bug. Unity gets on the way of the drag and drop operations. As a somewhat power user, I want to be able to drag, let's say, a CSV file or an HTML file to the Atom Editor or GHex, but Unity incorrectly "suggests" I can only open it wiith LibreOffice Calc, or Gnome Text Editor, and so with many other examples. Thats without mentioning I may want to drag ANYTHING to a web browser, and Unity just blocks me. This is close to a disaster.
