It doesn't show a image on my mouse of the game as it should instead it shows nothing, and I can't add the game I'm trying to drag to a category by dragging it.

I got the exact same problem. You just can't drag the items. This seems to be persistent over the last couple of ubuntu updates, so it doesn't seem to be a platform-specific quirk.

I think I'm facing the same issue on arch linux. I created a new collection, and tried to add games to it, but dragging and dropping doesn't seem to work at all.
