Strange, today after i started my updated Debian 11, the drag&Drop from folder onto forum comment field works at first drag. Seems update of kernel/image to 5.10.127-2 fixed drag issue of my Vivaldi.
Crazy

@iambozdar You made this nice photo?
How do you call this bird? -
I'm on linux-headers-5.15.0-43. I'll leave this on Gnome. I ran a few tests yesterday and many of them failed. Even Gnome Web and Thunar stopped cooperating.
Bird is a nightangle. I didn't make the photo. I saved this photo back in 2011. I don't remember where I found this nice photo.... on which website... no memories at all.

But it's nice that you posted it here.
Thank you -
@ingolftopf I am glad that you liked the bird's presence.

I've recently noticed this issue myself. I'm running EndeavourOS with the Gnome 43 desktop. What I've discovered is that, if I'm using Wayland, drag and drop won't work. If I log out and log back in with X11, drag and drop will work.

Hi, Wayland is not supported but I can drag and drop Dolphin > Vivaldi on Opensuse KDE.
I guess you have to stay in X11 if you need this feature on Gnome.Cheers, mib

Actually, Wayland is supported (experimentally) on Vivaldi via Ozone. You can enable it with this flag:
vivaldi://flags/#ozone-platform-hint
Setting it to "auto" will tell it to use Wayland if it's available, otherwise, use X11.
That being said, I did mis-speak. Drag and drop was not working with Vivaldi using the XWayland protocol. If you set the flag I just indicated (so it will use Wayland directly), it does work. Although, I'm now finding I have issues with cut-and-past. Further research on the subject suggest the issue may be specific to Nautilus file manager on Gnome 43. So, the issue may right itself in time.
All of that being said, it's also my understanding the hardware video acceleration for Chromium based browsers using Wayland via Ozone is not yet supported.
