1. If I open two x2 instances, and drag something from the first one to the folder three of the other, I see the blue square around the folder that is the drop down target

2. If I open regular Explorer (or try the Desktop) and x2, when I drag something over the x2, it does not indicate with blue square over the folder what is the drop down target. It does not matter what I drag (various files, shortcuts, folders...). Here is dump: I had moved one shortcut from the desktop to the folder 'C:\Program Files\Easy Video Splitter' but it was not in blue square.

2352: In CShellDropTarget::DragEnter(7), examining source data object
2352: Dumping data object 0x00149C40...
2352: {Shell IDList Array, 00000000, DVASPECT_CONTENT, -1, TYMED_HGLOBAL | }

2352: InShellDragLoop = 1
2352: TREE: drop target = 'C:\Program Files\DivX'
2352: TREE: drop target = 'C:\Program Files\Easy Video Splitter'
2352: In CShellDropTarget::Drop()
2352: Final drop effect = 0

ok so now we know what's going on
the tree is correctly accepting drops but it doesn't show the hilights

i don't have a clue why this may be so

what about normal views?
if you have a regular contents pane in x2 with some folders, and you drag something from windows desktop, will you see target hilighting?

If I drag&drop from within one x2 window, it works OK, if I have two separate x32 instances open and drag&drop from one to the other it is OK.

Only when I try to drag&drop from outside of the x2 to the x2 there is no highlight.

i don't know what can be wrong
but at least if you can drop correctly (minus the hilighting) it is a bearable glitch!
