Bug still present in VBox 4.3.
Host: Ubuntu 12.04.3, with virtualbox-4.3 4.3.0-89960~Ubuntu~precise
Guest: Ubuntu 12.04.3, with VBOXADDITIONS_4.3.0_89960
The drag and drop (from host to guest) fails with a message: "Error when getting information for file (...)", but the file is copied to the guest, and it is available in the reported folder. Copy from the temporary folder to the destination folder (on the guest) is failing, if the filename contains spaces.
The dialog is available at: Error dialog
I think the problem is not the actual drag and drop, but the necessary copy/move operation from the temporary folder to the destination drop folder.
