I would like to also point out that I'm doing update process to Qt 5.13.2
which has quite a lot of wayland fixes and I plan to backport support for
primary-selection from Qt 5.14.

Both are same bug. I understand that non working drag and drop is a problem.
I will try to investigate.

This is a wayland limitation, apps are not allowed to position themself.
