Bug Description
When using nautilus to drag & drop files between folders, it quickly becomes unresponsive and unreliable.
Giving a constant pattern to reproduce is hard, but playing a few tens of seconds with files and folders always triggers the weird behaviour.
This happens in a single nautilus window, or when using several (2) nautilus windows.
Sometimes, I get an error message saying my file does not exists anymore.
The problem is with D&D, as Using Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V always works.
Notice I'm using a Wayland session, it might be related...
Not sure how to collect useful informations to debug this, advices are welcome...

This one is unresolved but report https:/
a comment describes what I see quite well regarding the error message:
"- when a drop fails in Nautilus and I use cut/paste to move a file or folder, I then get a "can't access [source folder]" dialog box a long time later (like 1 or 2 minutes, which is an eternity in UX terms) as if the mouse-based drag-and-drop got stuck all that time."
