Description
Since #559 it is possible to drag files directly on a Hyperterm window. It works fine for me in Bash and Fish but in ZSH the text is added greatly delayed:

Can some other user please test this as well with long path-strings consisting of more than 4 levels?
In iTerm it is instant.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the drag-and-drop behavior in a Hyperterm window using zsh and a filepath longer than four levels, then compare it with Bash and Fish as described. Done means the dropped filepath is inserted promptly in zsh rather than appearing after a substantial delay.
