Comment (by r-a-y):

 1. I can confirm drag-n-drop works in Edge, but only if the file manager
 was not opened with elevated rights.

 2. I can also confirm the "Select a File" button issue.  The problem
 appears to be a bug with plupload's `<input type="file">` shim.  plupload
 is supposed to transparently overlay an `<input type="file">` button
 directly over the "Select a File" `<input type="button">`.  However, in
 Edge, the button is positioned just above the "Select a File" button.
 plupload is incorrectly calculating the position to place the button.  So,
 if you click just above the "Select a file" button, the file dialog window
 will open... Oddly enough, this button works in WP's "Add Media" modal
 window.

 I'm guessing the issue is with our CSS somewhere.  In the meantime, here
 is a CSS hack for Edge that increases the hit area of the plupload `<input
 type="file">` shim:

 {{{
 @supports (-ms-accelerator:true) {
         body.change-avatar .moxie-shim-html5,
         body.change-cover-image .moxie-shim-html5 {
                 padding-top: 25px;
         }
 }
 }}}

 3. I don't have a webcam connected to my PC, but was able to see the "Take
 Photo" tab in Edge; IE 11 properly does not display the tab.  Probably a
 problem with the webcam detection script.
