It also works fine on my machine (Kubunutu 16.04) .
This is a (somewhat) known issue, that only happens on the first run of Cura on Windows.
What happens on Windows is that the installer must run as "elevated" (admin) user. When it runs Cura after installation, Cura is also ran as elevated user, and that breaks dragging files from the desktop. If you run Cura normally, dropping files should work.

I can drag 'n drop .stl files into Cura 2.1.2.
Did you associate .stl files with Cura 2.1.2?
In Windows, you can right-click on any .stl file and select Properties, then on the General tab see what "Opens With" shows as the associated program. Click the Change button to change it to Cura.
