#21665 new defect

Drag and Drop fails

Reported by: hefink Owned by:
Component: drag and drop Version: VirtualBox-7.0.6
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description

All Drag and Drop operations fail in either direction (guest to host and vice versa).

Host: antiX 23 (debian bookworm based)

Guest: antiX 17.5 (debian stretch based)

Same result on host antiX 22 (debian buster based)

First of all: The vboxclient needs to be started manually after guest is started up always. Obviously your guest additions ISO doesn't take care for a complete install.

Drag and drop actions are not recognised at all and also Copy and paste won't work before executing the following command:

Now Copy and paste works fine in both directions, while Drag and drop now throws errors in either direction:

Die Drag-und-Drop-Operation vom Gast zum Host ist fehlgeschlagen.

DnD: Error: Requesting pending data from guest failed (VERR_TIMEOUT).

Die Drag-und-Drop-Operation vom Host zum Gast ist fehlgeschlagen.

DnD: Error: Guest accepted drop, but did not specify the format (VERR_DND_GUEST_ERROR).

Component:GuestDnDTargetWrap

Callee:IDnDTarget {ff5befc3-4ba3-7903-2aa4-43988ba11554}

The drag and drop in this example was done with simple plain text from a plain text editor (leafpad) on guest to a text editor (leafpad) on guest or vice versa.

I followed the instructions given at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/DnDDebug to create the logfiles. The logfile on guest system exists but stays completely empty (zero bytes). Logfile from host attached.

Seems your website won't let me replace the word “buster” by the word “bulseye” in my original bug report. This is the single intended modification in the edited version below. Instead of modifying the original report the full text was attached unexpectedly.
