[Bug 1245751] [NEW] I can't drag and drop application icons anymore in the dock

 

Public bug reported:

I have a huge weird gap in my dock for some reason now.  I can't drag
and drop or re-arrange the icons anymore on both of my ubuntu computers.
The screen is already pretty small on this one, and I need the extra
room on my dock so I don't have to scroll a million times to get to the
apps I need.  I know this is a petty thing to write a bug about, I just
find it annoying to have a gap qhere there used to be none, and not be
able to fill it.  What changed?  Dragging and dropping apps and
arranging them used to be a breeze in 13.04.

I also find it difficult as a novice ubuntu user to change options in
the unity dock and dash and scopes all together.  it seems there are no
options to adjust at all and I am stuck with the messed up state its in.
My Home computer won't look up my files and folders at all.  I hope
there will be more control for the dash and dock in future updates.

Thanks in advanced

Alex
