Hi folks, I’m working on a TipTap editor which uses ProseMirror under the hood. I’m trying to add the ability to drag files in from the desktop and have them upload on drop, however, the drop handler is never firing. Here is my code, the `dragenter` and `dragover` are both working fine. Am I doing something wrong?

```javascript
new Plugin({
  props: {
    handleDOMEvents: {
      dragover: (view, event: Event) => {
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log("dragover", event);
        return true;
      },
      dragenter: (view, event: Event) => {
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log("dragenter", event);
        return true;
      },
      drop: (view, event: Event) => {
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log("drop", event);
        return true;
      },
    },
  },
})

```

If I add this to a vanilla editor, the `drop` handler is called just fine. Maybe you have another plugin with a drop handler handling the event.
