--- Comment #2 from ian at sproink.co.uk ---
Having finally bitten the bullet and yesterday upgraded to Xubuntu 16.04 from
14.04, I can confirm the loss of right-click drag-and-drop, and also the loss
of "rectangle select".

To add to the above, the functions both work in "View as Icons" and "View as
Compact List". Where they fail is in "View as Detailed List", which is what I
use all the time.

Workaround are thus:

1. Click-shiftclick to select a range (instead of rectangle select)
2. Ctrl-leftclick-drag to select a range (causes rectangle select to work, but
has to start on an item, not on whitespace)
3. Shift-left-drag to force a move (bypassing the Copy/Move/Link popup menu
you'd expect on a right-drag)
4. Change the view every time you want to perform a relevant action (which is
clumsy, to say the least)

Kernel: 4.4.0-78-generic
Distro: (X)Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial)
xfce4-about: 4.12
Thunar Help-about: 1.6.11
