I tried looking thru the archives and bugzilla, but couldnt find this particular problem. I have a window with multiple edit text boxes, and when I highlight the text from one box and try to drag it to another, more often than not the entire X display locks up, and can only be recovered by killing the app or restarting the X server. Is there a way to turn off the default DnD behavior? I don't do anything explicitly to enable this. I even tried putting a dummy handler to drag_begin(), but that still caused the problem.
