desktop function. Grab title bar from firefox, drag to deskto to create
shortcut, then unable to move the icon and receive errors and extra
files created when moving. Just like mentioned above.

Yes it is still there in 14.04.1 LTS (I suffer the same problem with a
link downloaded from Firefox).
How to reproduce:
- Click and hold the website icon in adressbar (alternatively: the lock icon)
and move it to the desktop
- Try to move around this icon
:(
Bad regression IMO and even worse
Yes, still a problem for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This is a major annoyance as
