@joshu aghora (josh-gura) Well it seems that the Ubuntu Gnome team has no plans to fix this for 16.04 LTS.
You can either add the Gnome Team staging :ppa from Launchpad and upgrade Gnome to 3.20 (not ideal, because it might break the system) or move to another distro. I am still running the same Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 installation that I had when I reported this bug 7 months ago and I've learnt to live with it. But it's still very annoying and I am considering switching to Open Suse Leap with Gnome 3.20 because of this bug and other problems that I am currently having with Ubuntu Gnome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1301083/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
