Dropping a file while a tool (Split, Compress, Protect, etc.) is open opens a full-screen PDF preview instead of loading the file into that tool. A single window-level drop handler catches every drop on the page and routes it to the preview, no matter which tool is open.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the web app and go to a tool, for example Split (
/#/split).
- Drag a PDF from the file manager and drop it on the tool.
- Expected: the PDF loads into the tool.
- Actual: a full-screen preview opens and the tool stays empty.
On Merge (/#/merge) a drop both adds the file and opens the preview at the same time (a double trigger).
Root cause
handleGlobalDrop in App.tsx (wired to a window drop listener in Layout.tsx) sets droppedFile, which renders <PdfPreview>. Tool pages have no local dropzone, so every drop bubbles up to it. MergeTool's dropzone calls preventDefault() but not stopPropagation(), so the drop reaches the global handler as well.
