It sounds like users might just be used to sites like imgur and the like who let you do this because they have scripts that make it possible and they expect it to be possible for RT.  They'll have to click the "Choose File" button while updating a ticket and actually choose the file.  

In RT 4.4, we did add support for dragging and dropping attachments onto tickets. We have a quick demo of this feature in action at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBwYK1a8W7U#t=1m23s <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBwYK1a8W7U#t=1m23s> and described on our blog at https://bestpractical.com/blog/2015/12/whats-new-in-44-improved-attachment-handling <https://bestpractical.com/blog/2015/12/whats-new-in-44-improved-attachment-handling>

Unfortunately, Alex, it's not clear to me why it would be broken for your users. If you can provide any more information about what your users are experiencing as well as which browsers they're trying it in, we may be able to pinpoint a cause.

Best,
Shawn
