Bug 450028

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Accidentally click on an application icon in the bottom bar very quickly as you move the mouse

Sometimes I click for example on Google Chrome's icon (or any other application that I have in the bar at the bottom of the screen, which I believe is called the Task Manager), and occasionally it happens that my intention is to click and then move the mouse away, but I do it so quickly that, I guess, between the moment I press the mouse button and the moment I release it, I also move the mouse.

(note: I'll describe expected result first and then observed result, it's more convenient in this case)

EXPECTED RESULT

It doesn't matter how much I move (accidentally in my case) the mouse cursor between the moment I pressed and the moment I release, and it doesn't matter whether I release it while still in the task manager or outside. If I drop the icon while still in the task bar, I may move it within the task manager, i.e. I'll rearrange the order of the icons. If I drop it outside of the task manager, in most cases if not all, I'll be dropping it in a forbidden area so nothing will happen. If I happen to drop it somewhere where it makes sense, whatever will happen will happen, whether it was my intention or not, but in ALL cases, after that, I will no longer be carrying around the icon with the mouse cursor.

There is NO POSSIBLE SCENARIO where it can be expected that, after releasing the mouse button, I can still be carrying around the icon.

OBSERVED RESULT

Every once in a while it happens to me that after doing the above-mentioned action, the icon will remain attached to the mouse cursor long after I have released it, and I will keep unwilling dragging it around. If I remember correctly, hitting the Esc key doesn't get rid of it (which, by the way, it should, even if I still had the button press. Esc should always cancel). I think I managed to get the icon unstack by clicking again in the task manager.

I cannot reproduce at will. This must be something that happens very rarely. In only happens to me accidentally, but has happened more than once.
