In general, our drag & drop support isn't well tested especially inside
content editable region. I just fixed one of bugs:
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/105396.

If you see any weird behavior, please file bugs on bugs.webkit.org. We're
more than happy to fix those bugs (as long as our time and priority of
things permits).
