Bug#592956: epiphany-browser: Epiphany freezes dragging images

[Michael Vehrs]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.30.2-3
Severity: normal

Steps to reproduce: visit a site that uses images within links, e.g. google
image search, and control-click images in order to open the links in new tabs.
Moving the mouse pointer while pressing the control key will drag the image.
Usually, releasing the mouse button makes the image snap back to its source.
Ocassionally, however, a green "+" symbol is added to the mouse pointer, and
the entire desktop becomes unresponsive. Clicking the mouse has no effect
anymore, and it is impossible to focus on another window using the mouse or 
keyboard. Switching to console, however, still works fine, and killing the
browser on the command line restores the rest of the desktop to normal.
