Unable to drag/drop a file to terminal with UAC turned off #7754

@Genesis-Nova

Description

@Genesis-Nova

Windows Version
10.0.19042.0
Terminal Version
1.3.2651

Any other software?
None open at the time

Steps to reproduce

Run windows terminal as administrator.
Try to drag a file/folder into the terminal to copy its path to the terminal window.
Does not work.

Expected behavior

I expected drag and drop for files/folders into the terminal window to behave the same as a command prompt or powershell window, both behave as expected in non-admin or administrator permission instances of the aforementioned programs.

Actual behavior

Path does not get copied during drag and drop into the terminal window, I just get the "deny" "not allowed" cursor icon when trying, unsure if this is related to the ongoing issue of being unable to rearrange tabs while in an admin window or not as seen in #6661
