Dear all,


I m using Centos 7 with the Gnome Desktop.

When I create url links by dragging from Mozilla Firefox to the Desktop, a web link file is created on the Desktop, and that file does what it needs to do when double clicking.

However, when I try to drag this file to another position on the Desktop (to organize my Desktop), a new file is created (having a name ServiceLogin), counter intuitive to a file drag operation on any Desktop.

Dragging other files on the Desktop works normal.

I tried on another computer running Centos 6.5, there dragging web link files works without problems.


best regards
