Does it happen even after restarting GIMP? Or that's working at first,
then at some point the drag and drop stops working, but when you
restart, it works again?
And also could you try later GIMP version?
You can get GIMP 2.8.10 on our FTP:
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/windows/gimp-2.8.10-setup.exe

I remember to have fixed some drag and drop issue for GIMP on Windows
in a later version (not sure which, maybe 2.8.6 or 2.8.8, but
definitely later than your 2.8.2). The bug description was different
though, so I'm unsure this is related, but it is better to check with
the last version to make sure.
Enjoy,

Jehan
