I see, what you can do is edit the file with:
sudo gedit /usr/share/gcompris/python/followline.py

Find the method:
def loosing_item_event(self, widget, event=None):

And change it so that it looks like:
def loosing_item_event(self, widget, event=None):
    if event.type == gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS:
      return False


Rerun GCompris and let us know if it fixes the issue.
