Just gave it a whirl and it worked fine after a slight tweak. The list is the same one that's the subject of the scrolling question, which alternatle expands/collpases an entry when it's clicked on so I couldn't ignore the processing of the line if it was the same line that was clicked.
The fix was to remove the check for the same line, set the dragData to empty before thr loop that checks for a drag, then check if the dragData is still empty after the loop; if it's not, I'm dragging; if it is, I process the line as usual.
