Just for some backstory/organization here.

Thunar is the default XFCE FM, and was dev/d by XFCE from the ground up,
starting as a gtk+2 and now gtk+3.

whereas Nemo sprung from a Gnome background, Gnome files > Nautilus >
Cinnamon forking to Nemo, so it has a very different background than Thunar.

So if HJ's *default* FM was Thunar, his distro must've been LM XFCE.

Personally I don't drag and drop, but when I want to move something I
c&p cut&paste and if I want to copy something I copy & paste; so I don't
know how to address HJ drag/drop issue.

Here's what gglAIov has to say to 'guide me'.

This issue might be considered more 'complex' in this LM forum discussion:
