Description
It seems that elements from the Master Palette - including the Symbols section, which is really the only section which we actually need a master palette - cannot be added to the score via drag & drop. You can initialize the drag operation, but the "no drops allowed" icon never changes to the "drop here" icon as you hover elements in your score that should allow it.
- new score
- open View / Master Palette
- try to drag a clef to the initial measure or the initial clef; or try to drag anything from the Symbols section to the first rest
Result: you never reach a point where you can drop
Adding by click works normally; just drag & drop fails.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by opening View / Master Palette in a new score and dragging a clef or Symbols element to the initial measure, clef, or first rest. Compare the working click behavior with drag-and-drop and consider the issue complete when valid score targets show the drop cursor and accept the dragged element; no files or tests are named.
