Based on the meeting notes, it seems that a recent Google Chrome update has led to a broken drag-and-drop feature in the Downloads bubble. This issue affects the ability to drag and drop downloaded files onto any website or tab in the browser. The problem started after the implementation of a new performance-enhancing feature called ‘UIPumpImprovementsWin,’ which was rolled out to 50% of Chrome Stable users. However, a fix has been developed by rolling back the ‘UIPumpImprovementsWin’ change, and it should be rolled out to users soon.
