            Bug ID: 359058
           Summary: Regression: Drag-n-drop of (Image-)URLs from Chromium
                    does not work in kMail 5.0.x any more
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.1
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kdebugs at CustomCDROM.de

If I drag and drop images from Chromium to the kMail editor, the mouse cursor
will indicate that the image could be dropped, but if I drop it, nothing
happens.

I would expect the image to be added as an attachment.

Likewise, if I copy the URL and paste it into the message editor, I get a popup
menu asking if the URL should be pasted as text or the referenced file be added
as an attachment. If a chose "Add file as an attachment", also nothing happens.

I would also expect the referenced file to be added as an attachment - just as
the text in the popup menu says...

I know there was a similar bug for pasting the URL as text IIRC which was
actually caused by a bug in the underlying Qt libs and was fixed using a
workaround. Unfortunately, I was not able to find this bug again.

Possibly, this bug's cause is related and the "attach URL" code would need a
similar workaround?

Reproducible: Always
