Drag and drop to paste file path doesn't work under Wayland

System

OS: Linux Version: alacritty 0.6.0-dev (3688b5c0) WM: sway

Doesn't work on 0.4.3 either, I built it from source to see if it worked.

Reproducing: Can't drag and drop files from either wayland or xwayland windows. I can, however, drop files into Alacritty if it is running in x11 mode.

Source: alacritty/alacritty
