Ever since I switched to Ubuntu, this flaw has been annoying the daylight out of me. I'm a very fast mouse user, and I trigger the bug tens of times each day while dragging small targets such as window borders (ie. resizing windows) and bookmarks in Firefox. This has already lead to annoying accidents, such as: trying to enlarge a window but instead picking up a file from the desktop and dropping it into some folder on the desktop, or in Firefox, trying to create a bookmark by dragging the icon left of the URL into a bookmark folder, but instead moving a bookmark folder into another bookmark folder. If there's anything that would make me abandon Linux, this would be it.

As for assgining the bug to a project, the problem is, it's not easy for an end-user to discern whether this is a Gnome bug or an X bug or perhaps even something deeper in the operating system. X seems the most likely culprit. Is anyone on this thread using KDE or XFCE or any other window manager than Gnome? If yes, the bug probably should be assigned to the X project.
