Agree, this is an awful long article for a bug report. Sure, it's a bad bug, but it's still a bug. Treating Apple like they wronged us morally isn't exactly the most effective path to a timely solution.

Hmm, dragging and dropping files on a Mac isn't an edge case, it's a common activity. The question is, is this bug reproducible?

Also, it's reminiscent of the Steam on Linux bug (though not as catastrophic); it's well within the realm of possibility.

Just read other comments - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9888496 It is reproducible, it is recoverable, it is not a problem.

> It is reproducible, it is recoverable, it is not a problem.

I can't wait to use this excuse for any future bug. "Yeah, it happens, but you can recover from it, so it's not a problem".

Let me try it now with a problem we're having in staging: "You keep getting kicked out, but can log in again and keep working? Yeah, it happens, but you can recover from it. It is not a problem"

If you keep getting kicked out once a year then yeah, it's not a problem.

I question how common it really is. I, for example, rarely move anything out of Dropbox. Further, you have to have not synced the files AND say ok to apples warning. I'm sticking with edge case, albeit one that violates expectations and should be fixed.
