I got a similar problem. For example: I want to drag and drop some text from maximised Firefox to a non- maximised window of libreoffice writer.
I drag the text to the dock over the writer icon and the firefox window vanishes while the writer window opens. (I guess this is the expo view?) Dropping the text in that window does nothing but focusing the writer window. No text pasted. To actually focus the writer window and be able to drop the text in it I have to 1. drag the text over the writer icon in the dock to make the writer window appear, 2. drag the text over the writer window so it seems (!) to get the focus, 3. drag the text back to the left edge of the screen (i.e. the dock), at any vertical position really, to make Firefox appear behind the writer window again, 4. now I can drop the text in the writer window as I would expect to be able after step 2. For 3 it doesn't appear to matter what icons or programs are in the dock. I just have to move my mouse to the very left edge of the screen at which point some focus magic seems to happen. This whole ordeal is rather bothersome and quite the step back from gnome where one could simply drag to the taskbar, have the respective window get the focus and drop the text (or anything really) in it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738636 Title: Drag and drop between different windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/738636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
