Where are you dragging and dropping to exactly?

Drop targets are accepted over the editor area for drop files.

Any errors in the Editra Log window (View->Shelf) while trying to perform this 
operation?

I tried to drag and drop into every region of the window.  
There are no errors in the Editra Log Window. 

Working on Debian Testing and Gnome 3 drag&drop works. 
It seems to me that this is some sort of Unity issue in Ubuntu. But I'm not 
sure.

Wouldn't surprise me, Unity has caused several problems in the past.

Thanks for the follow up will schedule testing of this issue for next release.

I have been unable to reproduce this on my Ubuntu system.

Steps:
1) open editra
2) open file manager / have files on desktop
3) Drag file to editor window
4) see + sign showning drop is ok
5) drop file
6) file is opened.

Anything I am missing here?

sorry I think I made a mistake.

i mounted a samba-share via nautilus. drag and drop from this share does not 
work (still). when i copy the file from the share/nautilus to the desktop or 
any other folder on my machine, then dragging &dropping this file works for me 
too.

so probably this has nothing to do with editra.
sorry again
