Comment 23 for bug 1301623

I don't think this is a duplicate. The other bug appears to be about switching workspaces THEMSELVES, while this is moving WINDOWS between them by dragging. Switching workspaces has never caused me any problems by itself.

Sometimes when I (on the latest Ubuntu 15.10) drag windows across my workspace switcher (especially when I drop and drag the window multiple times), Unity freezes, and I can't do anything. However, closing my laptop lid so it goes to sleep and then opening it does seem to fix this - it goes to the lock screen, then returns to normal when I unlock it. However, this is annoying.

This is really annoying because now, whenever I drag windows across workspaces, I feel like I have to be careful to have it NOT freeze. If a window ends part across two workspaces, I kinda feel like I have to go to the right workspace and fix it there so it won't freeze, rather than just doing it in the switcher.

Please, Canonical, get your act together - I have been becoming increasingly displeased with Ubuntu. I shouldn't have to monkey around with dconf just to remove the workspace switcher icon from my dock. I always use hotcorners to switch workspaces, as I configured the bottom left corner to activate the workspace switcher. While I understand hotcorners not being in the settings by default (because LOL they are buggy, and only seem to work one in every two reboots without disabling them and re-enabling them - except for some reason, across two computers, they magically seem to start working correctly after a while), I know for a fact that some people never use the icon to switch workspaces and instead use keyboard shortcuts.
