On a Mac:
I highlight text in Evernote and drag it into a Chrome Gmail composition
window. It drops right in without a problem.
I enable text drag-n-drop in Emacs 27 and highlight some text to try to
drag it to the same Chrome window. A yellow rectangle of text starts to
drag but freezes right as the mouse pointer leaves the Emacs frame, so I
can't drag it any further.
