Drag-and-drop operations in text editors
.NET 7 addresses a regression introduced in .NET Core 3.0 concerning drag operations in text editor controls. This update restores the behavior to match that of .NET Framework, ensuring consistency in how data is set during drag operations.
Version introduced

Previous behavior
In .NET Core 3.0 through .NET 6, the data type on System.Windows.DataObject when dragging text from a text editor control was DataFormats.Text or DataFormats.UnicodeText.
New behavior
Starting in .NET 7, the data type on System.Windows.DataObject when dragging text from a text editor control is DataFormats.StringFormat.
Type of breaking change
This change is a behavioral change.
Reason for change
The change was made to revert an unintentional change in .NET 3.0 and match the behavior of .NET Framework.
Recommended action
Upgrade older projects to the latest version of .NET to restore the behavior.
