[Bug 1060580] Re: Dragging and Dropping files and folders lags due to launcher icon fade out

I marked this as a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1018215 because I'm
confident both issues (drag and drop events being lost on panel fade,
and lag during panel fade) have the same cause.

It's worth noting neither bugs are present when the Unity plugin is
disabled from within CCSM. It's also worth noting that when re-enabling
the Unity plugin from within CCSM on Ubuntu 13.10, the panel fade
animation during dragging doesn't initate, and neither this lag nor the
lost drop events occur. So I conclude this bug is precisely related to
the fade animation of the unity panel.

   Unity launcher appearing interrupts GTK drag and drop operation (that's nowhere near the launcher)

Title:
  Dragging and Dropping files and folders lags due to launcher icon fade
  out

Status in Nux:
  Triaged
Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  What I expected to happen:

  Being able to seamlessly drag and drop a file or folder to any
  destination.

  
  What really happened (See attached screencast):

  Initial lag when starting to drag the icon. Lag lasts as long as it
  takes the launcher to fade out all icons except the nautilus home
  icon. As soon as this fade out process is complete, dragging the icon
  works flawlessly again.

  Other notes:

  This worked fine initially.
