SUMMARY Cannot drag and drop layers. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open any 2 documents in krita. 2. Try to drag a layer from one document to another. or 1. Open a document. 2. Click open and from open window drag a file to canvas OBSERVED RESULT Impossible to drag layers. This is an issue that continues from Krita 4.2.x EXPECTED RESULT Can drag and drop layers from document to document. Can drag and drop a layer from Open a file window with a context menu to insert file as a New Layer, New Document, Refference etc. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 8.1 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. I created two documents, tiled them in krita, and dragged a layer from the layer box of the right-side document into the left-side document; that worked for me. Are you doing something different? 2. Do you mean the file open dialog from within Krita? I wouldn't expect that to work because the dialog is modal.

Ah, you're dragging to the tab bar. That broke in Qt 5.12, and the Qt developers haven't restored the old behaviour yet :-(
Yes, that is the only way (I know) to switch between open projects in Krita. To click on the top bar's file name (or drag a layer there in older versions of Krita). Is there another way to move layers between open projects? I thought there was a way to drag a project outside of the main Krita window, but i don't know how to do it. DO you intend to make it work as before or not? Also do you intend to make the drag, drop from open dialog window work, or not ? Thank you.
Thanks for your comment! Automatically switching the status of this bug to REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to get confirmed. In the future you may also do this yourself when providing needed information.
I think we intend to make it work as it used to be, but afaik that has to be fixed upstream by Qt. In the mean time a workaround to allow drag and drop on multiple documents you can use the windowed mode Settings > General > Window Multiple document mode -> Subwindows Restart krita.
Thank you very much. That will help me lot.
