This is a new feature in firefox-3.0, which renders the bulk of the selected text as an image that moves along with your cursor as you drag it. Sadly, due to some bug (maybe in firefox, because in firefox-3.1, it works like a charm!), it is not compatible with kwin compositing. To disable this feature and turn back to the good old icon style, edit the following in about:config: nglayout.enable_drag_images Make sure it is set to false. Since the bug was missed in firefox 3.0, you probably won't see it fixed on mozilla, so someone would have to provide a patch -- Text drag and drop causes system freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
