This also happens on my machine; Windows 2000, build 2001050915 (and happened in
the 0508 builds as well).

More importantly, it's not just other applications; you can't drag links between
Mozilla windows. With this and right-click menus not working (other bug),
multi-window browsing is seriously crippled right now. (I did look for other
bugs, surprised it hadn't been reported, but this is all I could find, apologies
if it is a dup.)

Drag-and-drop of other items is still working - at least you can drag the 'page'
indicator from the location bar into a browser window and load another copy of
the same page, works fine. It just seems to be dragging from links that ain't
happening.

This is a recent regression in the last few days. I think it worked before 0508.

DND broke down?after 0508 tree was closed. So, no dragging of link should be
possible in the original report. dup of bug 79793.
Pease reopen if it persists after bug 79793 is fixed
