[kmail2] [Bug 359058] Regression: Drag-n-drop of (Image-)URLs from Chromium does not work in kMail 5.0.x any more

--- Comment #4 from Gunter Ohrner <kdebugs at CustomCDROM.de> ---
For me, kMail 5.1.3 inserts the image URL as text and some character garbage
(URL-encoded UTF-16 as ASCII, or something, see below...)

It does not ask whether to paste the address as text or to attach the actual
file.

If I now copy the image URL in chrome (right-click -> copy image url) and paste
it into the editor, it just pasts the URL string and does not ask if it should
add the linked file as an attachment instead. (IIRC it did so in previous kMail
versions.)

All stated holds for the plain text editor. (I do not use the HTML / richt text
editor.)

Software:
kMail Version 5.1.3
KDE Frameworks 5.18.0
Qt 5.5.1 (kompiliert gegen 5.5.1)
Das xcb Fenstersystem


Example:

If I go to http://www.ohrner-it.com/ and drag the company logo on the top left
of the page to the plain text editor, the following will be pasted (the text
between the lines):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

%00O%00h%00r%00n%00e%00r%00 %00I%00T%00 %00G%00m%00b%00H
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This looks quite wrong to me...
