Wrong drag and drop behavior on click

[yoones]

Hi,

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and the following behavior appeared:
- Open a window
- Maximize the window
- Click on the top bar (the one displaying the date and time, battery level, etc.)
=> The window is un-maximized and the top half of the screen is highlighted in blue (as if I was trying to drag and drop the window to this top half screen).

This looks like a bug to me. I reported it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2071811
Also reported on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comm...on_top_navbar/

Does anyone else encounter the same issue? Is there any workaround?
If you confirm it's a bug, please consider upvoting the bug report so that it gets attention and hopefully gets fixed.

Thanks

I can duplicate this on a VM. It's a bit weird. The highlight box (orange on my machine) remains, and won't go away.

I can't believe stuff like this makes it past QA.

Thank you, @currentshaft. I've left a note on that thread.
