Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.6.10571.0

Other Software

Windows Explorer (Windows 10 Version 2004)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a Command Prompt tab in Windows Terminal 1.6.10571.0
  2. Open a folder in Windows Explorer
  3. Drag a file from Windows Explorer onto the Windows Terminal Window

Expected Behavior

The file path should appear at the cursor location, potentially wrapped in quotes if it contains a space. (I at least assume it should, since https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/904#issuecomment-585892437 states that the feature has been implemented)

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens. Before I let go of the mouse the "not-allowed" cursor is displayed.
