Then you're in the wrong thread. You're describing a problem with Drag'n'Drop, it shouldn't be part of this thread.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

You are wrong. Plain and simple. Wrong. Reading doesn't mean acting upon. There are priorities you know? And the people that are forking the big cash for the development don't have that issue first in their priorities...
