To be more specific and clear, this problem exists when dragging from the right pane to the left, but not when dragging within the left pane from one place to another.

address lists currently can't be copied iirc.
I believe there is an existing bug on this.

This has never been a correct duplicate of bug 58485, not even when bug 58485 was wrongly morphed to cover bug 135126. Those bugs are about dragging cards into an open Mailing list properties dialogue window.

This bug is about dragging the entire Mailing list item from right pane to another AB in left pane, which basically works now. However, it's datalossy, per Bug 813881.

So I think the original problem of this bug has been fixed.
So I'll tweak this slightly to become a duplicate of the remaining problem, Bug 813881.
