Drag Drop State of Affairs

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi all. 

I've mentioned before that on a Mac current OS latest LC (and prior) I have some drag/drop operations, where I will process text dropped onto a field. The actual process works, but afterwards, the controls in the window will be unresponsive, until I click the window title bar, after which all works as normal again. 

It's not critical, but it is a nuisance especially I am constantly drag/dropping data from installation requests into my app for the sake of convenience and data consistency. It gets to the point where every drag/drop operation has to be followd by a click on the title bar. 

I suppose I could simply click at the location of the title bar, but I'd really like to know if there is a way to make sure that any drag/drop operations are "flushed" so to speak. And since I am almost certain that LC interacts with the OS to accomplish this, my suspicion is that the OS has not received any "termination" for the drag/drop operation, and must time out at some point. 

The reason I think this is because it seems that when I first begin drag/dropping data, it works for a bit without the issue, but after a time I get the loss of control issue, and from then on all drag drop operations exhibit this "anomaly". But if I wait for a time, things seem to be restored again for a bit. 

So I am hoping that maybe there is some system message that gets sent that causes LC to "clean up" after a grag drop operation.
