[Qgis-developer] Drag & Drop fails on Geopackage

[Giovanni Manghi]

Hi Andreas,

as far as I remember there is a general regression about d&d + the
same functionality always had issues with gpkg (among the other
things).

I will do.

agree, a lot.

I think that lately the very bad thing is that regression in between
point releases of LTR started to surface.
I strongly suggest that the paid bug fixing effort should be targeted
to 1) regressions 2) issues that we know cause crash or data
corruption in a replicable manner.
