This is it in a nutshell .. from another user having the same exact issue

SUMMARY

I am unable to drag and drop ANY clip from the project bin into the Timeline. the required video and audio tracks are present, none of the tracks are locked, and prior to My current 23.04 update on both kdenlive and Ubuntu a few days ago, everything was working fine. i also tried installing the ubuntu kdenlive 22.12.03 version AND the 23.04 App-images and the Problem still persists. and i have no idea what the issue is.


***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. happens on all projects both old and Brand new projects
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
cant drag and drop any clips to the timeline

EXPECTED RESULT
cannot edit any projects because i can't get access to any of the clips from the project bin

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 23.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
the only work around to being able to work on my projects is to use the V shortcut on the clips in the timeline, but working this way will make the whole process longer due to the clip being inserted and automatically cutting all the other clips in the project to make space for it. this minor issue can make things a headache when dealing with a large project with multiple clips because things will be moved around unintentionally unless I find an empty space in the whole project JUST to add the clip in then have to manually move the clip to the position i want it in.

Thank you for reporting. Seems to be similar to Bug 468962.
Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2023-05-05 04:20:30 UTC
Thanks for your report. I cannot reproduce the issue, so will need more infos to debug this. I need to understand if this is only related to the project bin, to the timeline or if all drag and drop operations are affected. Can you please do the following tests:


1. Can you drag a clip from the clip monitor into timeline ? 
2. Can you drag a video clip from your file manager directly into timeline ?
3. Can you drag an effect (from the effects list) onto a clip in timeline ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Hello

Yes, that is correct.

2.- Can be added from file manager into timeline.
3.- Can't added an effect from effect lists into timeline

By file mail i go to send a video bug demonstration.

Another user with the same issue. See this thread on KDE Discuss for users with the same issue; all using GNOME: https://discuss.kde.org/t/cannot-drag-and-drop-any-clip-from-project-bin-to-timeline/1113/10

In turn, this forum points back to GNOME's bugtracker: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2715

I can reproduce it on my GNOME 44 X11 desktop, but not Sway.
Comment 5 James North 2023-05-08 05:22:45 UTC
Had another computer to test this on—GNOME 44 running Wayland. Drag-and-drop works on this one. All computers running Arch Linux.
Comment 6 ponslleida@gmail.com 2023-05-09 14:34:20 UTC
Kdenlive 23.04.0 I work fine in Ubuntu 22.04.02 but not in Ubuntu 23.04.
Ubuntu 22.04 is an official stable release, but 23.04 is a non-stable pre-beta release.
Now I am working on a laptop with Ubuntu 22.04, and another tower with Ubuntu 22.04 and I stopped working with the computer running ubuntu 23.04, on which I will install the stable version of Ubuntu 22.04, but first I will wait some time to see if the problem can be fixed.
Comment 7 emohr 2023-05-09 15:48:35 UTC
Please try with the AppImage on Ubuntu 23.04 to see if the issue still occurs.
Comment 8 Such A Shame 2023-05-19 11:34:17 UTC
I have similar problems with digikam appimage, so it seems that this is more general issue. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469961
Comment 9 emohr 2023-05-19 12:22:31 UTC
There seems to be an issue on the AppImage (dependency, QT desktop setting?). I tried to run the AppImage inside a Lubuntu VM on Windows. The AppImage only get to the flashscreen with an error message but Kdenlive Flatpak is running. On another Windows machine with the same Lubuntu VM the AppIamge starts.
Comment 10 Such A Shame 2023-05-20 05:25:13 UTC
This is possibly more general problem. Fix is possibly not yet in Ubuntu, but building mutter from source is reported to work. See discussion in yet another program it affects: https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/5221

*** Bug 470255 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 12 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2023-05-26 09:50:26 UTC
As reported, this is caused by a bug in mutter affecting all Qt Apps:
