I can reproduce this on X11 using the Flatpak. Using the + button and manually picking the file instead of drag&drop works fine.

@dreamsyntax That one is actually a problem specific to Flatpaks (or Electron, if there’s any app actually functional with drag&drop packaged as Flatpak?) since there’s sandboxing going on and it is very likely that drag and drop doesn’t work via portals like when adding a file via native dialogs.
