Amazing. I bet this is a platform feature.

Are you guys trying to heal this bug holistically or something?

You're funny.
If by holistically you mean "by approaching the people on the Windows platform who own drag/drop to let them know that the drag/drop model doesn't support this use case properly" and "getting them to consider this a valuable feature", yes.

So, you're saying it's unequivocally their fault? That's brave of you.

The platform team has said that they are not going to fix it. They want us to detect when running as administrator and disable drag & drop activity.
