So, I was dragging some files around in Nautilus and I wanted to cancel a drag. So, I just hit escape.
Then I got this weird file icon floating always on top on my screen that I couldn't figure out how to get rid of. Logging out and back in fixed it, but I'd rather not have to do that as I have this problem come up quite a bit.
I tried killing and restarting Nautilus (kilall nautilus
), but that didn't fix it.
Here is a screenshot of the little visual artifact.
Does anyone know a way to get rid of this by killing a process or something minor that? I'd rather not have to close everything and log out every time.
killall nautilus
command? Just opening a new file browser window will start it again.
