Touchscreen click sometimes drags favorite from dash

[cryptoneep]

When I click on a favorite on the dash sometimes, the favorite icon becomes "unhinged" and subsequently every time I move my mouse over it, it gets dragged away from the dash. Very annoying.

I'm on Gnome3, Ubuntu 17.

Thanks for the bug report. For the records, could you be more specific about your Gnome Shell version?

Unfortunately there's a general lack of development/testing of the extension with touch devices [#128, #196], for the simple reason that I don't have any to test on.

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.24.1

Note to myself: check these

• Fix touchscreen behaviour for taskbarAppIcon (#223) home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel#350
• Touching the apps icon on a notebook with touchscreen freezes the system  home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel#223

@micheleg why not merge dash-to-panel (of course needs talk with their devs) and dash-to-dock and allow it to be used on any side? Than there are more people working on it and therefore better software, without the need of double and twice porting around patches and features.

[micheleg]

@gsantner I'm not conceptually against it, some parts are shared/inspired from each others. However, it's not given that merging the projects would give better overall results, rather than putting more burden on each of us.

There is another issue with scrolling: #751

Relevant quote from there:

maybe implement "long-press" for moving and then dragging individual items, as e.g. the Android home screen does it.

Can confirm this issue, goes away if I reenable dash to dock. Very annoying as well on my thinkpad yoga.
