What is SDL_DROPTEXT and what does it require to work?

Thanks for the response :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve tried manually enabling it via SDL_EventState(SDL_DROPTEXT, SDL_ENABLE), and SDL_GetEventState(SDL_DROPTEXT) indeed returns SDL_ENABLE before and after. However, text drag-and-drop still seems completely disabled (i.e. dragging highlighted text over an SDL window shows the “no symbol” cursor, and the event is never raised on release).

To be clear, on this Windows 10 machine, this procedure (highlight text, drag to another window, release) works as expected in other apps (Microsoft Word, Chrome, etc.)

And also to be clear, SDL_DROPFILE (as well as BEGIN and COMPLETE) work as expected in the same SDL program.
