Description
The context: Host: Windows 7 Pro SP 1 Guest: Fedora 23 linux Guest Additions 5.2.6 installed and confirmed to work (for example, dynamic screen resizing works, and bidirectional clipboard works).
The problem: Drag and Drop between guest and host does not work in either direction. When dragging from Windows 7 host to Fedora 23 linux guest the file icon under the mouse pointer in the guest windows has a red, "not allowed" sub-icon once the guest window boundary is crossed. When released inside a file manager window, the icon disappears, and the files are not copied. This happens both with directories and simple text files.
When dragging from guest to host the file icon under the mouse pointer disappears at the guest window border and no files are copied.
