Screen recording of the bug happening

SUMMARY
Dragging and dropping files on to the information panel makes dragging and dropping unreliable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an archive in Ark.
2. If the information panel is not already visible,
    a. Click "Settings", and make sure that "Show Information Panel" is checked.
    b. Click and drag the right edge of the box that displays the archive contents to the left.
2. Select one or more files in the archive.
3. Drag and drop those files on to the Information Panel.
4. Attempt to drag and drop files from the archive.

OBSERVED RESULT
Attempting to drag and drop the files in step 4 rarely works. Most of the time, it just changes which files are selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Attempting to drag and drop the files in step 4 always works.

Thanks for the report.

I've just tested this with a file and multiple files in a tar.gz archive and I can't reproduce this issue.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved.

I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
