Warning: Bug Crashes System
In the latest Gutsy with all available updates, Applications will cause
an entire system to lock up when an object is dragged within it.
Reproducible as Below:
1. Find an image, block of text; anything selectable.
2. Click and drag somewhere else inside the browser window. (Desktop drag
untested.)
3. Let go of the mouse.
4. System will freeze except for the mouse. Only way out is to power off by
button or (safer) holding Alt and SysRq/Print Screen and typing REISUB.
Bug seems to be caused by the Reflection plugin as reported by numerous users.
Possible correlation with Intel graphics cards
