Dragging Wd in Rev2.0

[Sarah]

It sounds like the mouseDown message is sent when you click in the  
menubar, but the mouseUp never happens. This means that dragWd is set  
to true and startX & startY store how far you are away from you window,  
so now whenever you move the mouse, the window moves accordingly.

I think you need to check "the target" in your mouseDown handler before  
setting dragWd to true e.g. something like:

on mouseDown
if the target contains "Menubar" is false then
-- do dragging stuff
else
pass mouseDown
end if

Alternatively, you could check the position of the mouse on mouseDown  
and only trigger the move if it is within the rect of your moving  
window.

Cheers,
Sarah
