I used to be able to drag and drop pictures, ex: open png drag and drop on slack to upload, drag and drop to browser to open in browser etc.

I am using gthumb at the moment, can you guys drag and drop pictures from gthumb on your pc?

Not at home, but I just tested in a VM with ubuntu-budgie 18.10. I can reproduce the bug:  
You can’t drag and drop the image from the view, _but it works when you drag and drop the image from the thumbnail viewer._

To confirm, I tried on my workstation, xubuntu 16.04, and the bug is not present. you can pick the image from the view (and also from the thumbnailviewer).

3rd test with a VM with xubuntu 18.10. I reproduce the bug.

It seems to be a bug/regression in gthumb 3.6.1 (in 18.10) in regard of what was possible in 3.4.3 (in 16.04)

Pretty sure I had it in 18.04 as well, just didn’t bother me enough to report it.
