Ah sorry, I was using wayland and not X11. Now after becoming aware of it and changing my ubuntu to X11 things are working again…  
Problem is also mentioned here: [Drag'n drop on wayland](https://forum.juce.com/t/dragn-drop-on-wayland/50105) (but the other way around, so from e.g. nautilus → juce-app)  
Also a good time for me to give a vote for [Wayland support](https://forum.juce.com/t/wayland-support/12591)😄
