## What you did
Update bevy from 0.16.1 to latest main
## What went wrong
Drag and Drop doesn't work anymore from latest main, but does work in bevy 0.16.1
## Minimum reproducible
```rust
use bevy::app::{App, Update};
use bevy::DefaultPlugins;
use bevy::prelude::{EventReader, FileDragAndDrop, Res};
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_systems(Update, handle_file_drop)
.run();
}
fn handle_file_drop(
mut events: EventReader,
) {
for event in events.read() {
if let FileDragAndDrop::DroppedFile { path_buf, .. } = event {
println!("Dropped file: {:?}", path_buf);
}
}
}
```
On bevy 0.16.1 when hovering a file over the App window, you would see a "+" Icon. When switching to latest main you will see a "Blocked" icon (Circle with a line). The `print` above is also not called when the file is dropped.
This does work on a Mac though, I've tested the same code on my Mac/Windows/Linux, seems like my Linux is the only one not working anymore.
