Bug Description

Since updating to gtk 2.17.3, I observe weird behaviour in Firefox's bookmarks sidebar whilst dragging bookmarks. During a drag operation, Firefox believes the mouse is several rows higher on the screen than it in fact is. This may be observed in the highlighted drop target, and in where the bookmarks actually end up going if you do drop them. Rolling back to 2.17.2 avoids the problem.

I'm currently running a git snapshot of gtk+ (which is in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~maxb/+archive/ppa) and confirm the bug is fixed with that.
