Can't Move Files Between Monitors or Place Files from USB Drive on Desktop (Folder View)

[Lucas Muchenski]

Hello KDE team,
I'm having a frustrating issue with KDE Plasma and I couldn't find a solution yet.
I have a dual monitor setup, and both screens are set to "Folder View" layout. However:

  *
I can't move icons/files between the desktops (for example, from the primary screen to the secondary one).
  *
I can't drop or paste files onto the desktop from a USB stick or external hard drive.
  *
The files are not shortcuts, and there are no permissions or security issues with them.
  *
The behavior persists after rebooting and even with different devices.

I recorded a short video showing exactly what's going on:

I’ve checked system settings, folder permissions, and plasma settings but haven’t found any workaround so far. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated  I’m stuck and don’t know what else to try 😞
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Lucas Muchenski
