Dragging files between spaces Prior to 10.7.2 I used to be able to do the following sequence:


Drag and hold a file using my thumb on the trackpad (button depressed)
Three finger swipe to move to another space
Drop the item in the other space


This was a handy one-handed way of moving things between spaces, but with 10.7.2 it no longer seems to work: the trackpad doesn't respond to swipe gestures while the button is depressed.

Is this a bug or was it removed? Hoping someone knows of a hidden preference to bring it back.
You should be able to do this by dragging the 'item' to the edge of the screen and waiting a bit for the space to switch. To me this works for folders and text as well as windows.
