Environment

Windows build number: Version 10.0.18362.418
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.6.2951.0

Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

In Windows Explorer, click the yellow folder icon in the address field (next to the path to the folder you're viewing) and attempt to drag it into a Windows Terminal cmd window.

Expected behavior

The full path should be dropped into the command line at the cursor location, as it does in Windows command prompt.

Actual behavior

The cursor changes to an international No symbol to indicate that you cannot drop the path onto the terminal window.
