Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1) Start meld.
2) Click "File comparison".
3) Pick a single text file in nautilus, and then drag and drop the
file onto one of the file selection buttons [i.e. one of the
buttons with the text "(None)"].
Expected: Meld should either:
- Accept the dropped file as one of the files to compare, i.e. the
file selection button should now show the name of the file I just
dropped.
*or*
- Reject the drop -- it should not respond to the drag, and dropping
should cause the dragged file to snap back to the nautilus window
from which it was dragged.
Actual:
- While dragging, Meld visually promises to accept the dragged file: a
"+" shows up next to the mouse cursor, and it even highlights the
file selection button with a black border when the dragged file is
hovering over it.
- But when I actually drop the file, Meld fails to keep this promise:
it apparently does nothing with the file, as the file selection
button still shows "(None)" as the filename.
