The only other thing I'm curious about is dragging/dropping files into the Book Browser window. It'd be nice to be able to drag and drop images, font files, css, etc. into the book browser as an alternative to the "Add Existing Files" dialog.

It was done for Accessibility reasons for people who have issues using a mouse. The ClipsWindow now gets focus so that keyboard arrow keys can be used to select a clip or clips. There is now a shortcut you can assign to move focus to and from CodeView, ClipsWindow, BookBrowser, etc. That way Sigil can be navigated directly from the keyboard. This necessitated ClipsWindow getting focus. That change was made a few releases back. Not something we want to change now.
If you use the Clips toolbar (either clips 1 or clips 2), as toolbar buttons never get focus themselves, those clips still work with a single click like before. Hopefully the covers your most often used clips.
