What happened?

Left-click dragging a file to a panel will disable all click effects until either the extension or Cinnamon is restarted. This bug also prevents Cinnamon's default behavior when dragging a file into a panel (e.g. maximizing windows on hover).

Other information

Issue happens consistently, even when Animate Left Click is disabled.

Does the part "This bug also prevents Cinnamon's default behavior when dragging a file into a panel (e.g. maximizing windows on hover)." also happen when to try to perform the same action with the extension disabled?

Nope, I currently have the extension disabled (but still installed) and everything behaves normally, as if it wasn't installed.

Interestingly, I also managed to cause the bug by dragging applets with Panel edit mode enabled, but it seems to happen way less consistently this way
