Seeing no one complain about broken drag-and-drop functionality (in Gnome File Manager) in this thread has had me realise I must have a somewhat unique problem. For the life of me I can't drag files out of File Manager into a program without a struggle. This is an issue for drag-and-dropping e.g. images from FM -> Chrome (Jira stories / Gitlab comments / etc) or from FM -> Slack. Don't think I have tried much dragging into other programs. What happens is either: (~90%) nothing is dragged (~7%) the file path is dragged and either causes an error or just pastes the path (~3%) the actual file is dragged as expected I've figured out some ways to improve the likelihood of the drag working - instead of just clicking and dragging the item, I first spin around in my chair twice, give a very specific exasperated sigh, and then use my arrow keys to select the file I want to drag and only then click and drag with my mouse. This works much more often - probably about 50% of the time. Recently started always trying copy in FM -> paste in destination program and that generally works. (I've had the issue for over a year, since the start of my OS install. Currently on latest Gnome (41? 42?) on Arch. Wayland. If someone sees this and has any ideas please let me know.)
