Dragging a page avatar into the bookmark panel's drop-down menu (sub folder) produces a crash in X: the avatar "clings on" to the mouse pointer and cannot be dropped.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Grab a page avatar with left-click.
2. Drag it down to a sub-folder in one of your bookmark panel's bookmark folders.
3. Try to drop the avatar into the sub-folder. 
Actual Results:  
As described in "details". Crash.

Expected Results:  
Should make a bookmark in one of the sub-folders. Shouldn't crash.

I'm not 100-% sure it happens every time, but most of the times it does. I cannot reproduce it now, because I wouldn't be able to submit this report if I did...

NO, it's not always reproducible. Could not reproduce it right away after reporting it. Sorry!

sorry. your actual results are strange.

if x crashes, you may see the screen blanking, most if not all applications will die and perhaps be restarted.

if this happens, http://viper.haque.net/~timeless/blog/143/

if the browser doesn't disappear then there were no crashes at all.

if you have a cursor and you can't fix the cursor, that's a different problem - a grab.

OK, my bad, wrong term. It's a GRAB not a crash.

Comment 4

And yes, I'm sorry, I blew it: it's not an AVATAR but a FAVICON.
