This is currently inconsistent behavior, because dragging to HTML message is possible. Actually not true ... this only works for Firefox at the moment. I'll play around tomorrow to see if I can get this to work on IE and Chrome. But closing ticket since it is referring to the plain text editor, which is now fixed.

This is currently inconsistent behavior, because dragging to HTML message is possible. So I consider this a bug. We should probably restrict the drop target to the attachment area, like when the HTML editor is enabled.

Attachment drag-and-drop is a nice feature in many use-cases, but it has one annoyance in that it prevents text drag-and-drop from working within the plaintext composer, at least on Windows and Linux platforms / Firefox 30. I suggest that the feature be able to be disabled by user pref and/or by global configuration, for those with a focus on text editing with drag-and-drop capability. Of course a solution that permitted both functions to coexist would be optimal, but I'm not sure that is possible.
