often can't alt-click-dnd to move the focussed dialog

I can confirm this bug in Ubuntu 20110202

This bug seems to have been ignored through A3 cycle, have added milestones and given it an initial priority, so we can get it on the "to be fixed" radar.

this bug should have been fixed with the latest rand of upload AFAIK. Can people getting it confirm it's fixed?

I've added it to the 3.6.6 radar just to make sure.

I'm reopening this one because there is a small case where this
happens if you dnd from viewport to viewport
