Same problem with Opera browser. 1. load the following wallpaper with Opera: https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp2567098.jpg 2. try to drag and drop it on desktop Result: if Opera is running on Xwayland, nothing happens. If Opera is running natively on Wayland, a Stick Note with wallpaper URL is created on desktop. lol
Created attachment 153735 [details] Cannoy drag and drop on wayland. Works on X11.
Found a workaround: while dragging the image over the desktop, drag it over an existing desktop icon, then over an empty area again and then drop it. This works and I get the normal drop menu. Does that work for anyone else?
Created attachment 153745 [details] I hope I gotten this right? I just get the desktop to freeze, doesn't really work. 5.26.3
On my Arch Linux Plasma hangs for a few seconds if Firefox is running on Xwayland, and the workaround works if Firefox is running natively on Wayland. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Graphics Platform: Wayland
> the workaround works if Firefox is running natively on Wayland. Yeah I have Firefox running in its native Wayland mode. I guess it doesn't work if Firefox is in XWayland mode, darn.
This bug is not specific to Firefox. On Vivaldi (a Chromium Browser), dragging to the desktop or Dolphin doesn't work at all in XWayland. If the browser is run natively on Wayland, dragging an image to the desktop creates a sticky note with the link to the image and dragging an image to Dolphin has no effect.

Workaround: drag to desktop, wait 1 or more seconds, *then* release the mouse to drop.

A very similar thing happens to me but in the opposite direction when running Firefox in native Wayland mode. When I drag a picture from Dolphin to a website that has a file drop zone, it only works if I hold the cursor still over the drop zone for over 1 or 2 seconds. If I let go of the click too early, nothing happens. This could be a different bug, but it seems similar enough that it might also be the same as this.

Still persists after over 1,5 years :(
