Drag&Drop doesn't work on a fresh install

Post by rafi »

Hi,
I have a fresh install with Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon, but alas, I can't drag and drop files from one window to another anymore. In the panel, I tried with both the "grouped window list" and the "window list" applets, but neither switches focus to another program when dragging objects onto them. I'd very much appreciate pointers towards debugging this issue? Thank you!

Can you provide a more detailed system report? Especially the graphics hardware and drivers information. Use inxi -Fxxxmprz

I can't drag and drop files from one window to another anymore.
Can you copy from one Nemo to another Nemo (holding down Ctrl key)?
