Still getting a bug where Dragging and Dropping files is dead

[Wheathead]

I can't reproduce the issue directly, so I don't know the cause. I suspect it happens after I use previewing the files which I often do when I'm reviewing downloaded research articles in html and pdf in my download folder using the preview window. After I close it, then I want to select the files to move to my 2022 articles folder on a separate tab. At some point, the ability to drag and drop is gone. I can select the files in the list but to click and drag them is dead, gone. There's no remedy except to close XYplorer and reload it. Then the drag and drop is available.

Mulitple times over a pretty large number of updates. Explorer 23.00

Happened to me also, but I didn't notice the pattern to reproduce it.

Have either of you tried toggling this setting?

Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Extended compatibility for clipboard and drag and drop

[xy123]

Disabled here. Should I enable it?

It wouldn't hurt to try since you have an issue, but is your drag+drop not working only when dragging to other apps? or within XY too?

Drag and drop is working, It happened only once or twice in the last month.

I will ✓ that and report back if I have any more incidents.

To answer the above question: The issue had occurred at some point prior to when I was intending to drag some files from my downloads folder to another folder in the tabset of XY. The files could be selected but there was no attachment to them by the mouse pointer. Close and reopen XY fixed the issue.

No problems since I reported the problem or today.
