Public bug reported:
Firefox allows the user to move a tab into a new window by dragging it
out of the window. Since Kubuntu 15.04 this fails if the end point of
the drag is over the desktop. The mechanism still works if the end point
is over an application window (does not seem to matter what the other
application is, so long as it is not the desktop background)
Reproducible: always
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Open a tab
3. Drag tab out of the Firefox window to a point where the desktop background
is visible. The new window is not created and the tab remains in the original
window.
Expected behaviour:
In step 3, a new Firefox window should be opened that contains the tab that was
dragged out of the first window.
