Issue Details
- Electron Version:
11.2.1 - Operating System:
macOS Catalina 10.15.6 - Last Known Working Electron version:
none
Expected Behavior
I expect that dragging a file over an electron app should not turn on the copy cursor by default.
Actual Behavior
When you drag a file over an electron app, the cursor gets the copy cursor icon while it is over the app window. The copy cursor is supposed to "indicate that dragging the item will create a copy of it at a new location." This is confusing, especially for an app which does have certain components that accept drag-and-drop and others that don't. You can prevent the copy cursor by adding an onDragOver handler to all non-drag-and-drop components, but that doesn't cover the edges of the <body> that are outside any component.
To Reproduce
- Create and launch the hello world app from the electron quick start guide.
- Drag a file across the app window.
Screenshots
Pressing command+shift+3 to take a screenshot makes the copy cursor icon disappear.
Additional Information
This does happen in Chrome, but it makes sense there because Chrome will open a file that you drag-and-drop onto it. If this behavior is inherited from Chrome, it should get overridden, because it doesn't make sense for most parts of most apps.
