Dragging a file from the desktop into the file attachment area in Gmail will not display the appropriate hover styles. The functionality of adding the file works fine, but the styles are never redrawn. 

This is not isolated to Gmail and I can recreate the issue with other plugins such as Valum's Ajax Uploader ( http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ ).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Styles that should be re-drawn when the user:

1. Drags the file anywhere in the browser
2. Drags the file into the upload area
Actual Results:  
Appropriate hover styles are never displayed.

Expected Results:  
Different styles should be displayed when

1. User drags a file and hovers anywhere within the browser
2. While dragging a file, user enters into the upload area.

I have tested in the exact same browser versions on WinXP, Vista, and Win7. The appropriate styles are redrawn. However, in Windows Server 2003, they are not.

In Win2003, when I inspect the div that should be redrawn via Firebug or Dev tools, the "drop-area" and "drop-area-active" classes are applied correctly. Firebug even shows the correct style declarations, but the changes are never visible.

Occasionally, the "drop-area-active" style is displayed for a split second when the user drops the file.

I'm not positive that it is a Windows2003 issue, but that's the only OS in which I'm able to recreate the bug.

I can confirm that this bug is still present in 3.6, as well as 4.0.
