Debian 11.2 guest, drag-and-drop half broken #565

Open CalculonPrime opened 2 years ago

Describe the bug

Host is Windows 8.1 x64, fully patched. Guest is Debian 11.2, freshly installed from DVD (and then connected to online repos).

Installed packages open-vm-tools 2:11.2.5-2 open-vm-tools-desktop 2:11.2.5-2

I can drag and drop file (small text file tested) to dolphin, and that works, but if I try to drop on the desktop, no icon ever appears, but I can find the file under ~/.cache/vmware/drag_and_drop

I also have the problem some others have mentioned where the cursor is (/) over the guest window until I move it back and forth across the edge of the guest window, at which point it changes to an allowed cursor.

Reproduction steps

1.  Grab small text file in windows explorer
2.  Drag and drop it onto the Debian guest desktop (may require moving the cursor across the guest window edge a few times).
3.  When you drop, no icon ever appears if you drop over the desktop.  However, it works if you drop over a dolphin window.
...

Expected behavior

Icon created for file. File appears as ~/Desktop/myfile.txt.

Additional context

I was going to post above that it worked in OpenSUSE Linux 15.3 x64 because I've seen it work, but when I tried it, the exact same thing happened. So, apparently a regression.

What I don't know is whether this is an open-vm-tools problem, or some Linux configuration issue - but I haven't changed the configuration in aforementioned OpenSUSE 15.3.

I've filed an internal issue.

DnD issue require both the host and guest logs (open-vm-tools) .

We'll also need the version of VMware workstation involved.

Look like the same as me, #592 .
