If i'm not wrong this is strictly related (or duplicate) to bug #718185 because when you drag an element the active window became the *dragwindow* of the dragged element and the launcher shows up.
This should happen only when the launcher-autohide option is set to dodge active window.

I'm getting something similar here with dragging operations in Chromium (open two tabs, start dragging one around) and Opera (click and drag an image or a link), but other than bug #718185 it's happening with "Autohide".

David Callé, please let us know to which hiding mode you set the launcher.

On default mode : "Dodge windows".

This effects me to.

I have the bookmark toolbar on firefox. When I try to drag and re-arange a bookmark to the left hand, I can not drop it there as Unity pops out.

Dodge windows enabled

This affects me, too.

This also happens when, e.g., dragging text around in gedit, or dragging mails around in thunderbird. So it might be a good idea to rename this bug to something more general and/or more descriptive of the underlying issue.

Cannot drag files from nautilus to qmmp, because it has two windows.

I know that is weird, but this bug can be solved only if we solve this one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/727901).
