Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce the "ghost icons": 1) fresh installation of saucy daily;
2) create 2 txt files on the desktop; create also a folder on the desktop; 3) start moving the icons/files and icons/folder to different positions on the desktop; the more you move the icons to different corners of the desktop, the more visible the ghosts will be. 4) start playing with another software, such as firefox. 1 to 2 minutes after moving the icons and while playing with firefox, you'll see the "ghosts". the ghosts are your icons moving to the positions you moved previously. note that only ghosts are moving, not the icons in fact. but that's kind of annoying. if you're not able to reproduce, i'm making a video... just wait see? see it? stoping video. video attached. besides me, there are more fellows reproducing this ghost bug on other lubuntu versions, such as 13.04: http://askubuntu.com/questions/314694/lubuntu-13-04-mysterious-occurrence-of-icons-appearing-to-be-dragged ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: pcmanfm 1.1.2-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-3.8-generic 3.11.0-rc6 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-3-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.12.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Config_pcmanfm_System_Lubuntu: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/xdg/pcmanfm/lubuntu.conf' Date: Sun Aug 25 23:25:28 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-08-25 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha i386 (20130825) MarkForUpload: True Pref_Config_System_Lubuntu: [Preferred Applications] WebBrowser=firefox.desktop MailClient= SourcePackage: pcmanfm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: pcmanfm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 saucy ** Attachment added: "video demonstrating the ghost bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1216739/+attachment/3787752/+files/out-1.ogv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1216739 Title: ghost icons appearing to be dragged on the desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1216739/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
