From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't remember encountering the particular bug they're describing. I was hoping it was about the behaviour of drag-and-dropping something into the browser, such as with those "drop a file here to upload". I am often simply unable to make that work because instead of the thing being dropped into the webpage's element, it opens the file in the browser instead, which is not really something I ever want to do.
I'm not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
