What Happened: 1) Press the Ubuntu button / Super key to show the 'main' dash 2) Try to drag one of the applications from the 4 at the bottom (such as firefox) into the launcher. This is not possible with the current state of unity. Instead the user has to click 'More Apps' and then find the application in that list and then drag the app into the launcher. What I expected to happen: I expected for the items in the main dash to be active so that they can be shown in the launcher. Hope this bug can be fixed soon.
