[Bug 147018] Re: [gutsy] Firefox drag and drop causes system freeze

[Elliot Hughes]

Hi,
Thanks for your bug report and information reported.
Slight changes made to description to be clear to developers.
I have rejected the firefox report since this does not seem to be isolated to firefox as robbbbb and Leonard Broman.
It seems clear that the Reflection plugin is the cause of the bug, though it would also seem that this is isolated to intel graphics card - if users who have confirmed this bug could state their graphics card too this would be useful.

I am keeping this bug as Incomplete as we don't have crash dumps. These
can be made using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash
Then I will be happy to confirm.

Thanks again,
Elliot
