Public bug reported: SUMMARY This seems like a functionality regression. Previously I could select a text, start dragging it, then with ALT Tab change to another applicaton window and there drop the string in that window. I don't see the point why I should always contaminate the clipboard with strings when I could drag them like works in other applications. Work around is slow and needs more coordination and finding the right one, namely to drag the string to the desired task tab in the task manager which will make it change the focus there. When that still works, why not ALT Tab like before?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select text string in task Firefox (or Thunderbird ) 2. Start dragging while changing to previous task using the ALT + Tab key combination. OBSERVED RESULT ALT Tab will no longer change to previous task during a drag operation. EXPECTED RESULT ALT Tab will also change task while doing a drag operation.
