Has anyone experienced drag and drop problems in Mozilla 1.5-0? If I attempt to drag a message to another folder, moz locks up X, and only mouse movement is functional. I also tried highlighting some text in the web browser and got the same symptom. I think it thought I was trying to drag the text but I am not sure of that. If anyone has experienced this or has found a fix. please let me know. Thanks, Darrell Cormier

Thank you for the input, I wanted to make sure that I was not the only one having this problem before I filed a bug report. D.C.

I have had the exact thing happen, not only in the browser but the email client as well. It locks up so bad I have to shut the machine down and reboot. Obviously there's a bug so until it gets fixed, I've been using Opera for browsing and Evolution for mail (for the most part). Zach

Zach, You may try to do a CTRL-ALT-F2. Log in and then do a ps -ef |grep mozilla It should produce something like this: ----- ps -ef |grep mozilla big_bear 4023 2526 1 15:55 ? 00:01:34 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4029 4023 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4030 4029 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4031 4029 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4032 4029 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4722 4029 0 17:07 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4723 4029 0 17:07 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4725 4029 0 17:07 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4762 4029 0 17:10 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 5359 2626 0 18:17 pts/3 00:00:00 grep mozilla ----- Then kill the latest mozilla instance (not the grep one of course). In this case it would be kill -9 4762 This has worked for me so far. I first thought I had to reboot but I then tried this (you must use the -9 or it wont work) and it works. D.C.

You know, it never fails...I try to crash Mozilla and the email client and now they won't cooperate :-). It's like taking your car to the shop to repair a ghastly noise and it sounds fine when you get there. I will certainly give your solution a shot when the need comes up though. Thanks! Zach
