drag and drop of launcher icons uses microscopic drag icon

Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

drag and drop of launcher icons around on the unity side bar uses a very very tiny icon, of the order of 1mm square. I _think_ its coloured appropriatly to be a very small shrink of the icon. We are expecting a full size icon in 'hand' when dragging.

ok, can't reproduce it on my nvidia system, Mirco as well on nvidia.

@Andy: are you using an ati, nvidia, intel card (seb is using intel)?

same bug on the Intel GMA950 graphic card

Encounter the same problem on Intel HD i915 graphics

I have the same problem with:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03)

when I said on nvidia, to add, I use libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental.

The same here.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

VirtualBox 4.0.4 and Intel 4500MHD is also affected .

unity --version = 3.6.4
Xorg -version = 1.10.0 RC 2
compiz --version = 0.9.4.0

Intel and Nvidia (nouveau, didn't see this with the BLOB): rev. 975 fix working fine.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 3.6.8-0ubuntu1
