ondropped does not work

I have tried many different times to get :ondropped working to no avail. Just simple things like :ondropped "notify-send foo bar" in an eventbox. I've searched github for path:.yuck ondropped and there are hardly any people using this feature, and most of us that are "using" it just have test notify-sends like me (my dotflies are one of the few results 😅).

Are there any special requirements for this to work that aren't mentioned in the docs, or is it just perhaps broken? dragvalue works great and I use it in a lot of places.

Making this into an issue after playing with it more.

Here is a minimal example:

(defwindow drag []
  :stacking "overlay"
  :focusable false
  :geometry (geometry :x "0px"
                      :y "0px"
                      :width "50%"
                      :height "32px"
                      :anchor "top left")
  (eventbox
    :dragtype "text"
    :dragvalue "dragons"
    "DRAG"))

(defwindow drop []
  :stacking "overlay"
  :focusable false
  :geometry (geometry :x "0px"
                      :y "0px"
                      :width "50%"
                      :height "32px"
                      :anchor "top right")
  (eventbox
    :ondropped "notify-send dropped {}"
    "DROP"))

As stated in the discussion thread, the drag eventbox works great and can be dragged to any text field. The dropped eventbox does not work at all. It does not fire when dropping the value from drag on it, and it does not fire when dropping arbitrary text on it from elsewhere either. I have tested with :dragtype "file" and I have tested with other :ondropped commands.
