Alt+Drag isn't working.

Whenever I try to drag something like a map or unusually shaped token onto the map it just makes it square-shaped, even if the grid isn't on. Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes; alt-drag has been nonfunctional since the November 4th update. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Meanwhile, the old behavior is available by dragging art assets to the VTT from Folder View. (Thanks to Keith Curtis for noticing this workaround!)

I was worried that a API or script I installed messed something up

Actually, Subscription assets work... for some reason.

Subscription assets work because that's what the update that broke Alt-drag was all about. Marketplace assets that have been uploaded in the past few years have all included size metadata in anticipation of this. A 6x2 tile will drop onto the VTT as 6 units by 2 units.. This is something that has been long, long asked for and will make map building from Marketplace assets much, much quicker. I am confident the devs inadvertently broke alt-drag and that it will be restored quickly. In the meantime, the Folder View in the Art Library still has the old functionality as a workaround.

Two weeks after the update, still broken.  Come on, this has to be like one line of code to fix.
