Comment:

 I tested this behavior on WP 6.8.2 and can confirm the issue:
 - Dragging a .zip file outside the small input triggers a browser
 download.
 - The proposed CSS-only patch fixes it and works consistently.

 I agree that treating this as a UX enhancement makes sense, but it still
 improves accessibility and could be useful in future design updates.

 Thanks @iamibrahimriaz for the clean approach.
