Peculiar behavior when trying to upload GIF

While editing this answer I ran across a strange little quirk.

When pasting GIFs into the image upload section, it is rendered as a PNG, which makes it no longer animated. When dragging files from the file explorer into the section however, it preserves file type.

Here's a GIF that illustrates the issue (above 2MB, so hosted on Imgur itself): https://imgur.com/a/F2e8T5B

Screen recording demonstrating that pasting a gif removes animation, but dragging the original file into the editor preserves the animation
