Bug Description

With gnome 42, you can drag and drop a file (for example from nautilus to firefox) via hot corner to move from one maximized window to another maximized window.

to do this we click on the file, while maintaining the click we move it to the upper corner to switch to another application and deposit it (drop a file drop a file on a website for example)

on gnome 43 (ubuntu 22.10) it doesn't work anymore. Moving file to hot corner does not open the Activities Overview

That was fixed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6055 which is in GTK 4.11.3 and later. Already fixed in Ubuntu 24.04. So it sounds like you're linking to the wrong bug?
