[Bug 1388623] [NEW] Nautilus window leaves icon on the screen

 

Public bug reported:

The Nautilus application will leave an icon on the screen when you start
to drag a file and then press ESC to cancel.  This icon is not attached
to the Nautilus window and persists on the screen even when Nautilus is
closed.  The icon also appears on all workspaces when multiple
workspaces are enabled.  This icon is always on top of all other
windows, so gets in the way of other work.

The only way that I know how to get rid of these icons is to log out and
log back in again.
