Steps to reproduce this ergonomic issues:
- split the view in two views A and B
- change the directory in each view
- now try to move files from A to B using drag-and-drop
- to achieve this, we have to release the mouse in the margin grid (or an empty cell)
  because a file cell area doesn't accept drag-and-drop

This is really uncomfortable.
It seems there is a regression.
A workaround is to change to the parent directory and drop on the target directory.
