Description felix 2020-03-14 18:05:15 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I try to drag and drop files from one application to the other across my two screens the application doesn't register which files were dropped. Tried this in different browsers and discord.

OBSERVED RESULT
The drag and drop feature only works when staying on the same screen. (It does work sometimes when dragging over to the other screen but not very often. Can't reproduce it consistently)

EXPECTED RESULT
It should not make any difference whether you are dragging files between two applications on the same screen or on different screens.

Tried it with a text file from Dolphin to Kate on the other screen and Kate received the file.
