That didn't work either until I remembered to set the 
allowableDragActions. Then it worked.

Peter, try that. I was getting bizarre results too until I remembered to 
set that property in a dragStart handler. It's a new keyword as of 2.9.

One thing I noticed. If I set the allowableDragActions to "move,copy" 
(the example in the docs) or "copy,move" it will only move text, even if 
the target field sets the dragaction to "copy".
