Drag and drop file upload is not working in DCE file upload fields (ie. fields using flexforms)

Description
When using DCE with a file upload field, users cannot upload files by using drag and drop in their content elements.
This bug might exist on all similarly defined flexform fields (not only on fields defined by DCE).

Can you please add more information here, what the code is that is inserted into DOM, so reviewers can understand by reading.
For testing it would be nice to have either an example within the ext:styleguide extension, or by providing a demo-setup/export here. (t3d)

I am providing a quick screenshot (attached here) and some extra explanations for the review.
You will see that the "dropzone" div is inserted (by DragUploader.js) after the div above (shown also the in screenshot).
The div above, might have a value that includes dots (which is a CSS selector - special character, coming from flexforms).
Example div id value shown also in the screenshot:
div id="data-8-tt_content-NEW595e24ef50fb3309295065-pi_flexform---data---sheet.tabGeneral---lDEF---settings.mediaEntryImages---vDEF"
In such cases, "dropzone" insertion fails and files drag and drop is not functioning.
To have functional drag and drop on such cases, the insertion of "dropzone" should be successful, so we need to properly escape those special characters in the above div id for the insertAfter() to work.
This happens in DragUploader.js in https://review.typo3.org/53416.

What does data-dropzone-target hold for the case you posted in the screenshot?

data-dropzone-target holds the id (selector) where the insertion of the dropzone will be done by DragUploader.js (after or before the div that gets selected using data-dropzone-target value).
So in first screenshot earlier, the data-dropzone-target had value:
"#data-8-tt_content-NEW595e24ef50fb3309295065-pi_flexform---data---sheet.tabGeneral---lDEF---settings.mediaEntryImages---vDEF"
Accoding to DragUploader.js code, the dropzone will be inserted after (or before) this targeted div.
Without escaping the specials chars in data-dropzone-target value it is never inserted in such cases (because not found when dots are present, for example).
As an extra, here is quick screenshot where both data-dropzone-target and the targeted id are visible at the same time.

Okay everything clear now.
BUT: IMO the fix must be to write a valid selector to the data-dropzone-target attribute. Consider the case (maybe currently not needed but still) where the selector should be something like .something---234-sheet\.tabGeneral-234.theClass. If we do the escaping within JS we would also escape the last dot, which would be wrong.
So that's why I think the correct escaping must happen upon generation of the data attribute in PHP.

You are right, I understand.
I assumed that target div id naming is following a specific pattern that is agreed upon already by the way it works (where cases like the one you mention is not possible).
I pushed the javascript code changes you suggested for sake of completeness (regardless of the luck of the patch).
Thank you.

In any case, since we talk about future scenarios (currently not needed), I don't see how PHP can benefit the escaping situation more that javascript. I mean, if we talk about unknown future scenarios they still would need a code update (but it will be in PHP).
What I understand is that architectural wise you might prefer this, to handle such data preparation cases in PHP. Especially if similar preparations for other javascript data are already done only in PHP.
