Counter-record: No in-thread refutation of the reported regression as of 2026-10-06: 36 comments corroborate the drag-and-drop failure across sidebar and tab layouts. The report documents workarounds (tab view, @ mentions, /add command, downgrade to v2.1.5) and a root cause analysis pointing at webview drop event handlers broken in the v2.1.6 refactor.
Falsification probe: If issue #25128 is deleted without archive, if the author edits the opening body so the quoted sentences no longer match verbatim, or if the author/maintainers post a definitive retraction showing the regression was misattributed, this claim drops to Withdrawn.
