Hi @yaireo Thanks for the post we appreciate it!

I could not reproduce this on Windows, unfortunately. Appreciate you posting the video, that is very helpful however. Given that we have a lot of competing priorities, we probably won’t focus on this exact one at this time. But we appreciate you bringing it to our attention and we are leaving this thread up in case any one else wants to chime in.

The bug I showed is a simplified version of my everyday usage. I write a prompt, then I remember it would be helpful to drag a file in the middle of the sentence, right after some word, in order for the prompt to make sense in the correct order. I believe, without evidence, that the order of mixed content inside a prompt is imperative to get the best possible output
