Bug Description

If I start to move a bookmark (by left-clicking and holding it in the bookmarks toolbar) in chromium or firefox, the launcher unhides. It doesn't matter if I move it to the left or the right, or how far away I am from the launcher. I have attached a screenshot in which I am moving a bookmark slightly to the right. You can see the launcher has unhidden.

Ubuntu 12.04

This is a minor annoyance. I was trying to move an icon in the bookmark bar to a folder on the left side of the bookmark bar. I couldn't drop it as the launcher was in the way. Still, why should the launcher unhide when I move a bookmark icon?

It's intended. The launcher un-hides so you can drag the bookmark onto another window.

I don't understand why the launcher would be needed to drop the bookmark
in another window. You can't drop it on the launcher itself.

You can drag it over a launcher icon that supports opening that file format, and it will open it.

Unfortunately, in this case it's a bookmark so nothing other than another FF window can open it. Marking needs-design, on what should happen when a bookmark is dragged.
