Adobe Software Drag and Drop Unreliable Under Wayland Protocol
What happened
Adobe software has been reported to have unreliable drag and drop functionality when operating under the Wayland protocol. Separately, reports detailed how the Creative Cloud installer for Adobe Photoshop failed previously because it relied on Windows components that Wine could not handle. A developer published patches in early 2026 that corrected these failures, allowing Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025 to install and run smoothly on Linux via Wine patches.
