selenium: Drag and drop does not work properly in chrome (remote within docker container and locally via chromedriver)

Meta -

OS: Archlinux Selenium Version: ruby gem selenium-webdriver 3.9 Browser: Chrome Browser Version: Google Chrome 63.0.3239.132 Chromedriver version: ChromeDriver 2.33

Otherwise in Docker: latest selenium/chrome-standalone-debug

Expected Behavior -

When I run:

driver.action.drag_and_drop(draggable, droppable).perform

It should move the mouse to the droppable element and release the mouse button. Then the two elements should switch order.

Actual Behavior -

When I run:

driver.action.drag_and_drop(draggable, droppable).perform

The mouse is not moved. The Ghost for the element currently being dragged is at the position, where the mouse was before I ran the tests. Release is not working either.

(When I configure the VNC viewer to send pointer events, the dragging is still going on, following the mouse if I move into the vnc viewer window.)

Steps to reproduce -

I wrote a script for reproduction here:

https://gist.github.com/leoc/1837a0d1066fba1fd5649dc9dd196f5b

I attached screenshots to the gist to show the situation before the drag_and_drop invocation and after. Unfortunately scrot does not capture the mouse pointer of my local system. But the situation is the same locally as it is within the docker container. The mouse is not moved, but click and hold seems to have been started dragging, thus chrome displays the dragged element at the position where the mouse was earlier, before the method invocation.
