Research direction
The issue is a bug report about drag and drop not working on Ubuntu 16.04/16.10. Since the repository is deprecated and the issue is old, maintainers may not respond. To fix, one would need to set up an Ubuntu 16.04 environment, install the application via deb package, and reproduce the bug. Then, investigate the drag and drop event handling code in the main application window. The relevant files are likely within the XUL/HTML UI, possibly using standard DOM events. Check if the issue is related to Linux specific input handling or X11. Also review any existing comments or linked issues for debug information.
