Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?

I open a PDF in preview.

I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.

Now it won;t let me?

Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?

Thanks!

Same problem here. This is very frustrating. Hopefully this gets fixed in 10.10.1

Try repairing disk permissions and see if that has any effect.

I can't find the Home, let alone the library, necessary to use your instructions from earlier in this thread.

Yeah the whole thing is very annoying.

Don't forget to send feedback to Apple on this issue, guys!

Hello, the Preview behaviour when merging documents or pages from one file to another is completely erratic and has no logic. What sometimes work other times don't. This seems to be a serious bug.
