I still run into this bug all the time, and look forward to a fix. In the meantime, here's how to recover without logging out:
1. Open a terminal window. 2. Run 'pkill nautilus'. 3. Run 'nautilus-desktop &'. -- 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).
