Public bug reported:

Dragging and dropping is pretty difficult owing to the fact that when
you grab something in a window (the source window), e.g. a file in a
file manager window, that source window is put on top of other windows
-- including the intended destination window for the drag-n-drop. I.e.
the act of starting the drag-n-drop results in obscuring the destination
window, which is pretty counter-productive.

Even if part of the destination window is visible it is still unusable,
because no matter how long you hover over the destination window while
grabbing an item it still doesn't get raised to the top so that you can
actually drop the item in its intended place.

If you need an example of how to make it workable, boot into macOS.
