Some users are reporting that file drag and drop (EVENT_WINDOWACCEPT events) is not working on Windows 8. There is some information out there about this, but I don't have any issues on my Win 8.1 machine:

Any idea why?

Just switched to Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) with GCC 4.8.1.

My radio player has issues with the detection of drag & drop as well.
As this wouldn't be enough, panels doesn't seem to be updated properly.
The result is a "blank" window, so users can get stuck and the app needs to be restarted. :/ - The exact same code worked fine with Windows 7.

At least the music still plays. Thus no one hears my screaming... ;)
