Dragging a bad file into queries section
On v0.28.0, if I drop a bad file (e.g., {x:1}) into the queries section, the drag to import animation does not disappear and I get no error.

FYI, I bumped into this too. The "animation does not disappear" seems like a pretty significant effect: The only way I could see to make my Query Library usable again was to completely close and reopen the app.
I've confirmed this issue is still with us as of current Brim commit 290f138. As shown in the attached video, the following stack dump appears in DevTools:

Yup, I've seen this one too.
Verified in Brim commit 8ac2379.
As shown in the attached video, attempts to drag bad files into the queries area now result in a helpful error message depending on whether it's wholly unusable (e.g., a pcap in this case) or valid JSON data that's not of the expected format for the query library ({"x": 1}). For correctly formatted JSON such as the Brimcap queries that successfully import in the video, the success message reports how many queries were imported.
