Title:
  gedit crashes and locks up the system when dragging tab bar

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I originally reported this bug upstream, and now it appears to be fixed upstream. I will repost here the parts I believe are most relevant.
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679355

  
  It is my hunch that the bug is actually in a gtk library.

  I'm using Gedit_3.4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. I'm reporting a bug that is also
  experienced by someone using Gedit 3.3.0 on Fedora 16. Because of this, I hope
  it's safe to presume this is an upstream bug.

  Description of problem:
  Gedit crashes and freezes system when dragging a file from one Gedit window to
  another.

  Reproducible: 100%

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Open Gedit from the menu, and open a file in that Gedit.
  2. Use nautilus (or any file manager) to open another file with Gedit. (It will
  open in a new Gedit window)
  3. Try to combine the files onto a single Gedit window by dragging the files
  tab.

  Results/symptoms:
  -XWindows gets locked up with a dragging mouse cursor.
  -System must be hard rebooted, or Gedit killed from TTY1 for the system to continue.
  -The mouse pointer turns into a clenched (dragging) icon.
  -The mouse can still be moved around the screen, but has no more capability to function.
  -Pressing Alt+F2 still brings up the Run dialog.
  -In the Run dialog, I can still type in keys on the keyboard, but Space and Enter (and perhaps all whitespace?) are not being received.

  Here is the stack trace I ran originally:
