This necessitated ClipsWindow getting focus. That change was made a few releases back. Not something we want to change now.

And As for Drag and Drop in Qt, it simply has broken and caused crashes too many times. So we limit its use greatly. No one on Qt seems to care enough to make it truly robust across all platforms.
If we ever decide to add Drag and Drop onto BookBrowser as an alternative to Add Existing, we would probably disable it by default and warn users that enabling it may cause Qt internal crashes and thus is unsupported by Sigil.
Not sure it is worth the effort. But I am open to hear others' opinions.
