Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: file-roller

When opening an archive with File Roller and dragging files out of it
to, for example, the desktop does not work the first time if the user is
too fast.

If you drag the files over the desktop without dropping them, you see a
progress bar in File Roller showing the extraction progress. Dropping
the files before the background extraction is complete results in
nothing happening. If you drag the files a second time File Roller
starts extracting them _after_ they have been dropped, compared to the
first time when it extracts them during dragging (and stops abrubtly
when the user drops them prematurely, which is the bug).

Proposal:
* Make File Roller continue the extraction process initiated in the first drag 
when the files are dropped. Alternatively use the behaviour from the second 
drag, where files are extracted after the drop.

** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
