You're right. And it is fixed. Looking at it maybe I was wrong in bringing
this up. Although, playing with it now I think maybe it wasn't the drag and
drop time that made it feel strange but, rather, the highlighting. It seems
like the 'hover' highlight is not really needed. But that's very much
detail stuff that really maybe only be noticed by me. I don't think it's
worth worrying about it too much. My apologies for having misinterpreted
what I thought I was seeing. :)
