When I click around. Sometimes the d'n'd cursor appears... and disappears.

But sometimes it does not disappear and everything stays in that state. I can't access the menu of my wm anymore. nothing. The only thing I can do is moving the mouse pointer and press crtl+alt+bs. I think the animation of the moving page when I release the button again might cause this.

Can I disable drag and drop?

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mark some text
2.hold left mouse button
3.move mouse a little
4. release mouse button
Actual Results:  
d'n'd pointer doesn't release and become std pointer again

Expected Results:  
see above

we use fvwm1
