I read in the Dictionary that LC handles drag and drop between *unlocked* fields automatically. Crud. So I tried unlocking the field on mouseDown and then sending mouseDown again in 0 seconds, but that was a bust. I tried just unlocking the field on mouseDown and locking it on mouseUp but that was problematic too.

I use Scott's "getinline" handlers and I love them. They work like a charm.
