XYplorer Beta Club
I am using XYplorer 28.00.0000. In certain limited conditions file copy/move by drag-and-drop fails. Here are the details:
Two XYPlorer windows open.
One is displaying a local drive.
The other displaying a network drive pointing to a UNC.
If I point to a file in the network drive and hold and drag to the local drive in the other XYplorer window nothing happens. File is not copied/moved, etc.
If I point to a file in the local drive and hold and drag to the network drive in the other XYplorer window the file is copied.
If I do this in a single XYplorer window everything works fine, i.e., I can copy a file from the network drive to the local drive.
The action that is failing in 28.00.0000 used to work fine in all the old (32-bit) versions going back years. The last 32-bit version I used was 27.10.0900.

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Can confirm this, even if both instances are running with the same user privileges...
