(I post here the same comment I posted for duplicate bug #1716277): Same issue on my Ubuntu 17.10 beta, freshly installed (no upgrade).
Just for completeness, this behaviour happens by just dragging any file from desktop to any other window of nautilus. Dragging from nautilus to desktop works. Dragging from nautilus to another nautilus windows works. Cut/Paste from/to desktop works. It's the dragging action from desktop that looks flawed. If useful, here is a screen recording that shows the issue (well, the initial mouse drag and subsequent click attempts are not clearly visible but I think that one can get the idea of the problem): https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjzqucqb7hdcnvy/Screencast_drag_issue_ubuntu-17-10-beta.mp4?dl=0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704765 Title: can't drag file from desktop to folder window on Artful Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful).
