    Unity 2020.2.0a21.2837 won't le me drag and drop any files to the Project Browser window:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. Failed copying file C:\Temp\bla.cs to Assets/bla.cs.
    2. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)
    It used to work but now refuses to work, I've even tried to reinstall it but that didn't help at all.

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks

    I started having this problem with 2020.2.0a.21 as well. I just installed 2020.2.b1.2959, and I'm still having the issue. I do not have the problem with 2020.1, 2019.4, or 2018.4.

    I get this error whenever I drag and drop a file from Explorer (Windows 10) into the Project window in Unity. This is actually a significant time waster, because it means that every time I want to import a new external asset into unity (texture, sprite, model, etc.) I have to duplicate the file, manually move it into the Unity project directory using Explorer, and then go back into Unity and refresh the Project window so that the asset shows up.

    To add my experience. I have the same problem but only if I drag more than one file, if this helps to fix the issue...

    I just updated to 2020.2b2.3094, and the issue is still there.

    Do you think the fix will make it into 2020.2b3? Or is it likely to be later?

    If you're experiencing this issue in 2020.1 or 2020.2.0b5 then it is a different problem to the one that was discussed originally in this thread. Please submit a bug report for it, ideally with a minimal reproduction project so we can have a look at it.

    I've just reported a bug similar to this on 2020.3.36f1~37f1 which happens on Linux when you drag a file over Unity but instead of releasing the mouse button, you don't drop it on Project window. It shows error dialog like:

    Same issue in Unity: 2022.3.12f1, 2022.3.13f1 and 2023.1.20f1.
    Can't drag and drop: .unitypackage, .fbx.

    Issues I am getting:

    On first drag and drop it failed with this error message:
    "Failed copying file unity/external to Assets/external.
    UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent (int,intptr,bool&)"

    On subsequent drag and drops it failed continuously with the same error message:
    "Assertion failed
    UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent (int,intptr,bool&) (at /home/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:197)"

    Tried to find a solution all over the internet. I didn't find any solution to this issue.
