I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, I can't think of a use case for dropping a file into the right-hand panel payment details here.
Going to tag @roryabraham for your opinion since you opened #11823.

This is not a bug and is also unexpected behavior. Opening an RHN window shows a backdrop that indicates that the background is disabled for interactions.

I don't think that this is a bug. Agree with @parasharrajat that when the RHP is open then interactions in the chat view should be disabled.

I can't think of a use case for dropping a file into the right-hand panel payment details here

Even if we had a separate use-case for dropping a file into the RHP, that would be:

• A new feature
• Another instance of the DragNDrop component

Closing this out
