Title:
  the locate pointer option breaks other keybindings

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If 'Locate pointer' mouse feature is enabled (Computer->Desktop
  preferences->Mouse->Cursors->Locate Pointer), and you try to copy file by
  Ctrl+dragging, nautilus will stop responding when you release Ctrl or left mouse
  button to drop copy to destination folder. This effectively disables all desktop
  operations and panels until nautilus is killed from console.

  Exact sequence to reproduce:
  0) Enable 'Locate pointer' mouse feature
  1) press Ctrl
  2) drag file to destinaton
  3) release Ctrl or left mouse button
  You must FIRST press Ctrl, and THEN begin to drag file - if order is reverse
  operation will success.
