Further improvement of bouke's answer:

Since chrome calls dragleave of document on every dragenter foe each element, it can cause flickering of the dropzone, especially if there are many nested elements.

$(document).on('dragleave', function(e) {
    dragTimer = window.setTimeout(function() {
        $("#dropzone").hide();
        }, 25);
});

What I did to fix the issue for me is increasing the timeout a bit and adding clearTimeout before setting each timeout, since previously in some cases there would be more than one timeouts which are not cleared in the dragover event, since dragTimer stores only the latest one. The result version:

$(document).on('dragleave', function(e) {
    window.clearTimeout(dragTimer);
    dragTimer = window.setTimeout(function() {
        $("#dropzone").hide();
    }, 85);
});

btw, thanks for the idea! My other solution was an absolute pain :)
