Description of the new feature/enhancement

Are you trying to drag/drop onto the top left corner of the Terminal, or the bottom/right? What DPI is your display set to?

#2606 is the one I'm thinking of

Are you running the Terminal elevated (as an admin)? Do you have UAC disabled? (I'm thinking of #7754)

I use gpedit.msc to disable "User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode"
