I cannot remove files to the desktop (or to any other folders) from 'docked' folders, such as the Downloads and Application folders.

This is occuring on my wife's MacBook Pro Retina 15" early 2013 running 10.9.2


I've never run into this problem before, any helpt would be much appreciated.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

I mean that I cannot move files from folders that are in my dock.

That is, when I try to drag something from my Downloads folder in the Dock to my Desktop, it doesn't go anywhere, but simply remains in the Downloads folder in the Dock.


A restart has cured the problem for a while, but it is not the first time it has happened and I worry it will return.
