Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in the conversation drag-and-drop upload flow and compare it with the working "+" attachment flow. Trace the desktop conversation UI entry point and the upload handling used by both paths. Done means a file dropped into a conversation uploads and is added just as it is when selected with the "+" button.
