X11: Drag and Drop for file transfers freezes the chat window

I don't see an issue for this yet. On a recent update, drag and drop has broken. If I drag an image onto a chat, I'm stuck with the indicator to drag a file there. If I hit escape, the chat closes and I've got to start a new chat to re-open the conversation. Previously, I'd get a preview of the image with the open to send or cancel. I think this started with 2.2.0.

Workaround is to just click on attack and navigate to the file in the file browser. That seems to work fine. I'm dragging into it from the Dolphin file manager, using the i3 window manager in X11.
