Hey there.

By accident, I found out this morning that it’s possible to drag an attachment into the input box for the title of a thread.

No biggie, but this doesn’t seem like the intended behavior 😅

See

> [@Drag'n drop a file in the composer shouldn't start the upload if a category must be selected](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dragn-drop-a-file-in-the-composer-shouldnt-start-the-upload-if-a-category-must-be-selected/229960):
>
> When allow uncategorized topics is disabled, drag’n drop a file in the composer starts the upload without any error message though it doesn’t work. If the title field is focused (it is by default), it also fills it with the media markdown text. The expected behavior is that drag’n drop a file shouldn’t work, or trigger an error message that asks us to select a category first. Video example: Same behavior with safe-mode, I’m using Discourse 2.9.0.beta5 (e0364cf228)

This appears to be fixed, or at the least I cannot reproduce, so closing.
