Bug Description

In a gnome-shell Wayland session:

1. Open nautilus.

2. Open geeqie and navigate to a folder with images, ensuring that the dire.

3. Try to drag a file from the directory list on the left to the nautilus window.

Expected result: the file is copied to the folder in the nautilus window. (This works in an X session.)

Actual result: Nothing happens and geeqie no longer accepts mouse input (it has to be manually killed). The cursor icon stays in 'drag and drop' mode.

Dragging a file to a gnome-terminal window *does* work (the file path is copied to the terminal window), so maybe the problem is actually in nautilus.

Are you sure this is a duplicate? The other bug is about specifically about dragging from the desktop to nautilus, and some people report it happening in X as well as in Wayland. This bug only occurs in Wayland and it's about dragging from X apps to Wayland apps not working.
