Description
Description:
Around 10 times during 4 weeks (novice with rocket chat) I have drag-slipped the mouse and gotten to the chat-covering "Drop to upload file".
The only way I have found to get out of this overlay is (hard close) to logout of rocket chat, and login again.
It is frankly horrible.
Steps to reproduce:
I can not reproduce this, it is something that often happens when I click around in texts in already read messages and accidentally click and release the left mouse button.... It can not be completely unknown for you that this easily happens???
Expected behavior:
I expect the Esc key (for example) would remove the "overlay" covering the current chat window!
Actual behavior:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the “Drop to upload file” overlay on Windows 10 using the latest Rocket.Chat client, then locate the overlay’s keyboard handling. Confirm that pressing Esc dismisses the overlay and returns to the current chat without requiring logout.
