Ubuntu was using X11 by default. Switching to Wayland fixed the problem.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same problem here. Switching to Wayland fixes this, of course, but Wayland still falls short of providing (eg) the screenshot features of ksnip.

Having to choose between no drag and drop while app-switching in Xorg or being obliged to live with the screenshot shortcomings of Wayland leaves Lunar Lobster incomplete. Good to see this has been escalated to Medium importance.

Same problem here.

I have to choose between being able to alt-tab while dragging or using devilspie2 to fix another annoying bug in vscode (open file dialog opens in background). devilspie2 doesn't work with Wayland. Sad having to face these dilemmas.
