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.
