I noticed this same thing happened to me on both vesktop and brave while using ozone-platform-hint auto. It seems to be a chromium on wayland issue. I also happen to use kde and endeavour os so maybe a kde issue instead who knows. Using the flag --ozone-platform-hint=x11 should make it use xwayland

[AmyRoxwell]

--ozone-platform-hint=x11

I tried to use that flag, but sadly the program doesn't load and spits this error instead:

[amyroxwell@amyroxwell-b450mds3h ~]$ flatpak run dev.vencord.Vesktop --ozone-platform-hint=x11

Having the same issue here, Endeavour OS + KDE as well, when Vesktop is forced to use Wayland rather than XWayland, I get the same issue of not being able to click anything after dragging in a file. Happens on both the flatpak and the native versions of the app, so it might be a KDE issue or Electron issue.

iirc you can't drag files from locations the flatpak doesn't have access to. you could try giving the vesktop flatpak full host access (for example via flatseal). it doesn't access any files it shouldn't access anyway

in any case this issue is caused by some dependency or your desktop environment or whatever so this is a wontfix simply because we have no control. try isolating the issue and reporting to whatever is causing it (possibly chromium or electron or whatever)

Decided to try to narrow it down, seems like a KDE issue. Launched the flatpak version on Wayfire and it worked fine. Might have to report this to KDE

Try checking this outside of kde and it works just fine, so probably just a silly kde issue.

I know this issue has been closed as completed, and marked as upstream, BUT this also happens on KDE 6.1.3 running on Fedora 40, using the RPM version of Vesktop, forced to run in Wayland mode using ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto (which imo should've been default) to fix dragging and dropping, and copying and pasting just straight up not working. So I'm not exactly sure it's upstream, and rather something to do with Vesktop itself, seeing as other Electon apps work perfectly fine

@FluffyPuppyKasey THIS IS AN ELECTRON ISSUE UPDATE YOUR ELECTRON!!!!! 💥💥

[Vendicated]

it's indeed an upstream issue. there's nothing we can do. and there's a reason chromium doesn't enable the option by default

Electron is up to date as far as I can tell

As far as I've been able to tell Chromium itself has enabled the flag for a few years at this point. Electron hasn't. I could be wrong though!

Just checked, it's a little behind (from March of this year)
