[Bug 1357572] [NEW] dragging Firefox or Terminal windows to other workspace causes a hang

 

Public bug reported:

I enabled workspaces and then I started to drag windows to a second
workspace.

First, I started dragging a few Terminal windows. I had no problem. Then
I dragged a Firefox window that was showing a pdf that I have local on
my system and the UI hanged. I had to to a hard reboot.

Then I restored my Firefox windows. Then I tried to do the same thing
again and it hung while dragging the same window. I had to to a hard
reboot.

Then I restored my Firefox windows. Then I had given up on that one
Firefox window, but, at this point, dragging he second Terminal window
across into the other workspace caused the UI to hang.

I have not seen visible errors other than the hang. I am somewhat new to
Linux, having been on Mac OS X for many years, so I do not know where
these things might be logged (if they are).

Let me know if I can do something to help diagnose this. I can run
something manually, in a debugger, or whatever.
