1. Open a terminal window. 2. Run 'pkill nautilus'. 3. Run 'nautilus-desktop &'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704765 Title: can't drag file from desktop to folder window on Artful To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1704765/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
