This bug is still a major annoyance. It would be really nice to solve this for 18.04 (Bionic).
GNOME has recently removed the desktop code from Nautilus, so it seems very unlikely that this will be solved upstream. So presumably someone from Canonical or a community volunteer will need to fix this. -- 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).
