If you drop the launcher over the launcher bar with a left-click after dragging it outside of the launcher bar and back over it, the cursor still won't be free and will move all the launchers unless another left-click follows.

While trying this I also got a mutter crash in clutter (I had to kill gdb after it showed me ~50000 frames during "bt"). Will open another bug when I've found a way to trigger it again.

I found no way to reliably reproduce the crash yet, but it always starts with the steps in the report + #2.

While I haven't seen the SIGSEGV somewhere in clutter again, I got another one in g_type_check_value. Attaching the backtrace here for now (just the beginning and the end, as some frames in the middle repeat over and over again - the whole thing has almost 90.000 frames).

This is a tracker bug to make sure this issue doesn't happen in the latest launcher when it gets DND support.
