Bug description:
[Impact]
An occasional unpredictable crash in the Unity shell occurs during a
drag-and-drop operation.
[Test Case]
Unfortunately it is not possible to reproduce this bug at will.
Apparently is is caused by an uninitialized pointer dereference that
only occurs in a timing-dependent manner.
Running a full autopilot test suite against the Unity desktop shell
reveals no new regressions.
[Regression Potential]
The code change effectively adds a test for a null pointer. It is
possible that this might introduce a regression in drag-and-drop
functionality that previously relied on undefined behaviour to work
when it didn't crash.
[Other Info]
Fix was released with Ubuntu 14.10 and no new regressions have been
reported.
