Earlier in the past versions of anki whenever I drag and dropeed text from the browser it always copies at the last mouse cursor position, but now it pastes before the text, happens with images too  
I have to drag the text to another field and copy and paste from there  
the question bank from which I am dragging does not allow copy paste so it is a bit of hassle.

This is a known issue - for now I’d recommend using copy+paste to work around the problem.
