huh.
possibly unreleated but I just experienced that drag&drop from dolphin
to a html5 drop-zone doesn't work either.
it even doesn't work from a directory view in chromium itself to a
html5 page in chromium.

OTOH,
firefox directory view -> chromium page
and
chromium directory view -> firefox page
both work fine.

some people on the forums noticed something similar too
