Thanks for reporting this. I've confirmed the behaviour on the unstable
packages and on a build from the 5.1 branch. The problem affects drag
and drop in general, not just pivot tables.

It is possible to work around this as follows:

 1. Make sure no other window of libreoffice is open
 2. Run the following command to start libreoffice or calc:
   SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk localc

Please can you confirm that you no longer have the problem in this case?

Thanks
Chris
