moving files by dragging it to folder, most of the time resulted in
wrong target directory.

DIR1/ 
DIR2/ -> DIR3/
File     DIR4/

First case:
I want to move file by dragging to DIR2. While dragging, DIR2 will open and show DIR3 and DIR4. Then I release it, where is the file now? DIR2.. wrong, the file in DIR4 (nautilus open folder below the mouse)

Second case (suppose i like auto open folder on drag :) ):
I want to move file to folder DIR3/. I drag File above DIR2/, wait DIR2 to open. Showed DIR3 and DIR4, moving mouse to DIR3.. but oooops DIR4/ opened too quick, the file goes to DIR4 again :)

I hope there is better solution for this

Thanks

Title:
  Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When dragging and dropping a file, if the mouse hovers over a folder
  for a split second, the folder opens.

  This behaviour is quite jarring.  Whether or not you intended to drop
  into that folder, you may not have intended to open that folder.

  The hover time can't be set.  And the behaviour can't be disabled.

  It's a very significant usability issue for Ubuntu 13.10.
