Can't attach Files to emails
I have Flathub version of Thunderbird installed on Fedora Linux. I am sure I used to be able to do this but I can't now. If i try to drag a file like a jpg over an email I am drafting, it used to append or attach. Now, regardless of which I choose it wont work. If I choose inline I just get a text link. If I choose attachment, it attaches an empty file showing 0 bytes. The only way i can get it to work is to use the paperclip icon and go find the file but thats too cumbersome.

That sounds like some form of Linux sand boxing to me. Drag and drop being separately provisioned for security.
Googles AI suggested.
Drag and drop limits in Fedora are not due to fundamental OS restrictions but can stem from Wayland/X11 security settings, application compatibility, or desktop environment configurations (like being on different virtual workspaces or having windows not on screen simultaneously). To improve drag and drop functionality, ensure both windows are visible, on the same workspace, and that the destination application supports drag and drop. If the issue persists, consider using Flatseal to adjust permissions for Flatpak apps
It sounds reasonable to me, not being on Linux or using flatpak I can only look to the logic, not the application of it.
