@joshu aghora (josh-gura) Well it seems that the Ubuntu Gnome team has no plans to fix this for 16.04 LTS.
You can either add the Gnome Team staging :ppa from Launchpad and upgrade Gnome to 3.20 (not ideal, because it might break the system) or move to another distro. I am still running the same Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 installation that I had when I reported this bug 7 months ago and I've learnt to live with it. But it's still very annoying and I am considering switching to Open Suse Leap with Gnome 3.20 because of this bug and other problems that I am currently having with Ubuntu Gnome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When dragging and dropping a file, if the mouse hovers over a folder for a split second, the folder opens. This behaviour is quite jarring. Whether or not you intended to drop into that folder, you may not have intended to open that folder. The hover time can't be set. And the behaviour can't be disabled. It's a very significant usability issue for Ubuntu 13.10.
