Description Boris Bokowski CLA 2005-06-20 15:38:51 EDT
[RC3], Windows XP, multi-monitor

Make any view a fast view, open it, and drag its tab to detach the view. When
the mouse cursor leaves the workbench window, the grey feedback rectangle stops
moving even though you can still move the mouse around. While in this state,
letting go of the mouse button does not complete the drag-and-drop operation,
you have to click again to complete it.

Sometimes, this creates cheese on the windows of other applications. If you
click-and-drag instead of just clicking to complete the operation, you can cause
cheese in the detached view itself. See attached screenshot.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
