Drag and drop code fragments in editor not working

Hello!

I found the drag and drop code fragments in editor feature very useful but it has suddenly stopped working in my Intellij version even if it's enabled from settings.

Here's how it looks like:

Nothing happens when I release the mosue button.

Here's my version info:
IntelliJ IDEA 2024.2.3 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-242.23339.11, built on September 25, 2024

Has this happened to anyone else?
Is there any solution to this?

I could not reproduce the same issue with 2024.2.4 or latest 2024.3 .Has this stopped working after a specific change (for example, installing a plugin) that you can recall? I would advise disabling all 3rd party plugins via ( Settings | Plugins | ⚙ | Disable all downloaded plugins)  and testing if this still occurs. You can re-enable all the plugins again later with the Enable all Downloaded Plugins option.
If it persists after disabling plugins, please collect the log after reproducing the issue (`Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data...`) and upload it to https://uploads.jetbrains.com/.

A bit of a late answer.

For me, the issue ended up being the GitHub Copilot plugin. After updating it, no issues. I suspect any plugin that affects the editor could cause this. I'd try disabling all plugins and seeing if that fixes the issue. If so, you can start enabling plugins again one by one until you find the one that broke it for you.

Thanks to the other answer by Abhishek Sah for pointing me in the right direction.

Sorry for the late reply.

I can't remember which plugin caused the issue back than but it happened again and this time the culprits were either GitHub (not Copilot) or GitLab or both.

Installing the latest updates for these plugins solved the issue.

Thanks!
