Change of semantic for drag and drop on the open file dialog

Classification: Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When dragging a file to the cocoa open file dialog the file is moved to the folder displayed by the dialog instead of chancing the directory of the dialog to the one of the dragged file.
This is a UX issue since Open dialog is suppose to deal with opening files, not act like a file manager. The change of behaviour is confusing and breaks the open dialog semantic.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open Safari on OSX 10.10 beta4 (or any other native OS X 10.10 app that allows to open a file)
Press cmd+O
Drag a file from the desktop to the open file dialog

Expected Results:
The dialog changes the current displayed folder to the Desktop folder

Actual Results:
The dialog moves the file to the displayed folder

Version:
OSX 10.10 beta 4
