Well, I have a slightly similar issue in FC3 which /could/ be the same
thing.  When I click and drag in a subment of the Application menu,
sometimes it decides that I'm /really/ dragging and starts a real drag.  I
have to let go and start over.  I suppose I could learn to click, move, and
click again and avoid the issue.  So there seems to be something wonky in
the drag-detect code.
