User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.4; MultiZilla vundefinedundefined) Gecko/20030801
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.4; MultiZilla vundefinedundefined) Gecko/20030801

Mozilla 1.4 hangs occassionally when a mail is dragged and dropped to a new
folder in HP-UX 11.00. All mozilla components stop responding to mouse/keyboard
events. Also, dragging tabs to reposition them in tabbar sometimes lead to same
result(hang). I have multizilla and tabbrowser extension installed.









Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozilla, messenger
2. Try to drag and drop a mail from messenger window to another folder
   in the messenger window.
                   or
   Open some urls in different tabs. Now try to drag and drop a tab in tabbar
   to another location in tabbar in order to reposition it.


Actual Results:  
all mozilla components stop responding to keyboard/mouse events including
menubar entries like File->Open.

Expected Results:  
the mail should have been in moved to the desired folder or the tab should
have been repositioned in the tabbar.

Does hitting the "Esc" key help when this happens?
