The bug mentions that the drag just gets cancelled. In my case it locks
the whole of the desktop - the mouse pointer changes to the drag form
and never goes back and all windows are unresponsive (and it does
horrible things to chrome).  I presume it is still all the same issue.

Is this related to the problems people have of dragging to a file and
creating a PDF/TXT file?

I'm due to update to Fedora33 - is it fixed in there? (WebKitGTK verson
2.30.2-1, Evolution 3.38.1)
