Expected Behavior

2.installed some plugins, maybe the problem are them
3.tried to customize it for my needs

Research direction

Start by reviewing the OBS log at the linked URL and the attached 2026-07-16 text file, then reproduce the freeze using the Flatpak on CachyOS. Check whether the installed plugins are involved and compare the behavior with the other AUR package. Done means identifying a reproducible cause for the drag-and-drop freeze or narrowing it to a plugin or packaging environment.
