The problem is also seen under Linux and stems from the recent change in r21124. where the selection behaviour in the taxon navigator has been updated from double click to single click for opening a taxon editor.
This move to single click (selection changed) disrupts the drag & drop to the new Authority form since the opening of the taxon editor is triggered at drag start which brings the editor in focus and prevents the user from completing the drop.
Reverting the change solves the problem, but the change has not been committed yet since we are not sure why the change was done (awaiting reply from Katja).

The reason why single click was used was a requirement from the Red List Project. Florian realized that new users sometimes click only once on a taxon in the navigator and then do not understand how to continue as nothing happens.
But he agrees to change back to double click for the above reasons.

To me it looks like this ticket can be closed as worksforme even if the authority form is still not working very well, but this is another issue.
AK and KL, can you please veryfy and change status and target version if checked?

Operation Checkboxes in the Authority Form do now work in windows 10.
I have no idea how and when this was fixed, so I can't reference another ticket or a change set.
