I have the same problem with 3.0.0.
Sorry for slowly dripping out information (I promise that's not my
intent), but I will say, as soon as I created this user account on
windows, I had copy and paste issues that were outside of cygwin.  I
recall copying text from firefox and not being able to paste it into
windows explorer and vice versa (these are contrived examples.  I can't
remember what the exact problems were, but they were similar to this).
It seemed very random, though.  Like some copy/paste worked, and some
did not.  After running sfc /scannow and restarting twice, the problem
seems to have gone away completely.
I'm not sure if that's to this problem (except that it could point out
a borked windows install).
I encountered strange clipboard problems as a result of fiddling with
the Clipboard Settings in Win10.
When I turned on "Sync across devices", after a "Copy to clipboard"
operation, sometimes the "Paste from clipboard" operation pasted
nothing or the previous clipboard content. A few moments later,
another "Paste" would paste the content of the most recent "Copy". It
seems as though the content of the clipboard was not updated after a
Copy operation until a Sync to cloud was performed, with the timing
being dependant on WiFi, internet and cloud speeds and latency.
I did not observe any difference in "Drag and Drop" behaviour with
this setting, but I almost exclusively use keyboard Copy and Paste
instead of mouse Drop and Drag.
That's interesting.  Well my sync settings already seems to be off, but
when I was having issues, it was working just like you described.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to create a new Mintty issue or wait for
Thomas to reply.
1. Please note that this list has a no-top-posting policy. (Respond below the
text you're referring to.)
2. Latest comments are suggesting this may not be a mintty issue.
3. I can only reply if there is a clear question or issue presented. Even though
I noticed the issue once myself, there is still no "reproducible test case".
The OP has a reproducible test case: file drag to cmd always works, file drag to
mintty never works: fails on both 3.0.0 and 3.0.7; the rest of us have no
problems: diagnosis opportunity!
For me it works, mostly. It only failed under erratic circumstances, not reproducible.
