Dragging a file and dropping it on the Desktop icon of the left Finder bar

When I try to move a file by dragging and dropping it on the Desktop icon of the left Finder bar, it disappears, even though when I hold it there for a second, it blinks and places the file there, but then immediately the file disappears.

At first I thought it was mistakenly put somewhere else, but when I search for it, it is nowhere to be found.

Has this happened to anyone?

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

When you mention the Finder bar are you referring to the Dock which is usually at the bottom of your screen and contains icons of Apps, you can only place files and folders into the Dock on right hand side of the vertical line.
