dragging screenshot from pop up to desktop doesn't work

SUMMARY
When taking a screenshot with spectacle, a pop up notification displays the screenshot. Previously I was able to click and drag the screenshot to the desktop and either move or copy it there. Now this only works through dolphin and not directly to the desktop anymore (please see the attached video for clarity)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a screenshot with Spectacle
2. Try and drag the screenshot from the pop up notification window directly to the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
The screenshot should either be moved or copied to the desktop (a move/copy menu used to pop up before)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.28-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-This used to work fine previously in Frameworks version 6.14.0 and Qt Version 6.9.0 this bug happened after updating to 6.15.0 and 6.9.1 respectively

Hmm, this is working for me in Plasma 6.4. Can you upgrade and try again?

Unfortunately we don't have Plasma 6.4 in our stable repos yet. I've noticed that Manjaro tends to wait for one or two point releases after a major plasma update before making it available on stable.

I'll try again and revert back here again once it becomes available for us. (It may take a few weeks though)

Just updated to KDE plasma 6.3.6 and the same problem is still there. (we still don't have 6.4 in our stable repos)

I don't know if the issue i'm facing is related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506188
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2025-07-12 14:19:03 UTC
It's probably fixed by that, yeah.

Still waiting for the relevant software updates to be available in our stable repos to do the testing again. I haven't forgotten about this.
Comment 8 Sevenseraphim 2025-08-12 04:49:42 UTC
Ok so we just had an update in our repos to the following:

KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 (this is the still the same)
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 (this got updated)
Qt Version: 6.9.1 (I think this is also the same)

Can confirm that the bug is resolved with KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0

I can now successfully take a screenshot with spectacle and drag it from the notification window to the desktop. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2025-08-12 12:20:26 UTC
Excellent! That makes sense as Frameworks 6.17 included a major drag-and-drop fix.
