Supernova and attachment drag and drop?
Hello: I don't know where exactly to post this, so sysadmin, ok to move...Just migrated to supernova (115). W11p stable laptop. Only did the "upgrade" of the t-bird (so profile has remained the same).Tried to drag & drop a file as attachment, in a draft in edit mode, as in v102, but can't . Is there something I don't know here? If so, pls add info. Using the "attach" under file menu, fortunately does work, but a lot slower & haven't tried multiple drag & drop. The file is small (19 KB), & pdf, so should not be problem. Tx.

Hi Matt, tx for 2nd reply. The prob seems to have "gone away" betw yesterday (22july23) and today. I don't recall restarting t-bird then, but prob did so. I did not completely reboot laptop. But on booting up (laptop) today, and starting to disable the few extensions I use, I saw no prob. showing the "add attachment" pane for drag & drop (which worked). I enabled the 2 extensions, and drag & drop still worked. I exited t-bird & restarted, & drag & drop still worked. Maybe a bored AI bot could have found a temp code error in w11 file mgr somewhere that disappeared on laptop shutdown, but no human would be bothered, I think.
I will call the issue "solved" here, tomorrow or asap after that, fwiw.Read this answer in context 👍 0

Do you see an overlay like this when you drag your file
Tx, Matt. Exactly "No." That image (btw, that does not come thru to t-bird (115; that's what's active) ) is what was so useful in prior versions. That is, again, the "panes" allowed for file drag & drop into msg pane or as attachment. Not yet here that I found in 115, is there a setting I should look for & activate? Tx.
I think we need to be looking for something like an add-on going off the rails then. I did that image using the 117.0a1 (2023-07-21) (64-bit) build.
So it works in 102, and 117 so I don't think it will be missing from 115. Even if I don't have it installed to actually look.
Try restarting Thunderbird from the help menu in troubleshoot mode and continue when prompted. Does that change anything?
