[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50559] GUI editor: drag & drop to code editor does not work properly

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #50559 (project octave):

This works for me in fedora (and doesn't break windows) - attached

Using [1] as a clue I am guessing that the mime format used by default is
different on windows vs Linux (maybe some file explorer types??)

We have code in the file_editor class that handles opening the files, but it
(in the Linux tests I did) was not getting called when dropping a file onto
the editor.

Disabling drop on the QScintilla editor, so it passes it back to our widget
that will accept it, calls our code and open the file as expected.
