Can not drag an item from journal and have token appear on map

When I try and drag a anything from my journal to the map, it does not create a token.  I have to drag the token over from the art library and associate it with the NPC.  Another difference from the tutorials I have watched, when editing the NPC I can drag an item from my art library and drop it into the avatar field, I have to upload the image from my PC or drag and drop from my PC. This is happening in every campaign I have created, one uses 5th Edition (OGL by Roll20) and the other pathfinder.  I am a Pro level user using Google Chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit), it is up to date.  My PC is running Windows 10 Pro.  I think that covers the basic "what platform are you using" questions, let me know if you need something else. Below is an example of an NPC after I have hit edit.  I have both an avatar and default token saved.  I saved the default token by selecting a token on the map, then selecting "use selected token" button on the NPC edit card.  This issue does not affect game play, but it does increase my set-up time or if I need to add an addition NPC in the middle of a game.  It is bugging me and would like to what I am doing wrong.   Another thing that might provide info, if I drag something from the compendium onto the map, it does not place a token on the map, but it does create an entry into my journal.  I thought it just might be items like that, drug over from the compendium, so I tried with a character I added to the journal.  Still does not work.   Thanks, Todd

Are you click-dragging the journal entry by the name, or the 3 horizontal bars?
Now I feel like an idiot.  I was dragging by the bars, not the name.  Thank you for the quick response.
