[rt-users] Unable to drag files to attach them?

[Alex Hall]

Thanks for the clarification. After talking with more users, it looks like
some hadn't tried it since the 4.4.1 update but still assumed it was
broken, while others were dropping into the message field and not the drop
target. Still others were dragging images from websites, and thinking RT
wasn't working when the images failed to copy over. I think this one is
resolved, and sorry for the false alarm.
