Description Callegar 2024-07-17 16:05:00 UTC 
Description:
I am on KDE plasma on wayland and I need to use a gtk VCL due to another bug regarding scaling issues when two displays are connected with different scaling.

I have recently tried the gtk4 VCL, but noticed an important regression in it. It seems impossible to drag objects from the gallery into a drawing. This works on the kf6 vcl and the gtk3 one. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open libreoffice draw using the gtk4 VCL
2. Try to drag an object from the gallery into the current drawing

Actual Results:
The object can be selected in the gallery, but trying to drag it into the drawing does not work

Expected Results:
Bringing the selected object into the drawing should work


Reproducible: Always

Gtk4 UI is not ready for production and I don't believe this is a regression *within* the gtk4 code. I can't even test this because I get a crash when trying to start Draw.

Confirm that the object from Gallery can not be drag & drop for the moment.
