Actually, it's on purpose. See 3.1.3 in https://torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#proxy-obedience, "External apps, if launched automatically, can be induced to load files that perform network activity. In order to prevent this, Torbutton installs a component to provide the user with a popup whenever the browser attempts to launch a helper app. Additionally, due primarily to an issue with Ubuntu Unity, url-based drag and drop is filtered by this component. Unity was pre-fetching URLs without using the browser's proxy settings during a drag action, even if the drop was ultimately canceled by the user.
