I tried with the latest daily build in a VM but couldn't reproduce the dragging. I also tried that daily build on the bare hardware that had produced the error before, but likewise couldn't reproduce it. I did use a different keyboard/mouse combination, and I'll retry with the original set, but perhaps something got changed to eliminate the ability to drag? Joel
