Drag Drop State of Affairs

Could the defaultstack have changed? It sounds a bit like that.

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.

But if I wait for a time, things seem to be restored again for a bit.
