Drag and drop a project control onto w window not working in latest OSX

To be clear about this… although this has been explained already on other threads of the Forum:

  • Latest macOS update changed how it works.
  • Both the IDE and the compiled macOS apps were affected by this Apple change.
  • ANY app compiled and deployed (even time ago with any previous Xojo release) that tries to run under macOS 27.2… will fail wth drag & drop operations, because of that macOS change.

or was Xojo IDE doing something really funky that they don’t do anymore in 2026R3 ?

No. But the Xojo IDE, as probably you know, is created with Xojo, and at the framework level we use the native underlying macOS framework; so, yes, the IDE itself was affected by this change made by Apple.
