2.1b4 Mac: Can't drag-and-drop references into collections (also applies to standalone version)
I have both a PC and Mac running 2.1b4, and this problem only applies on the Mac (running Firefox 3.6.13 and OS X 10.6.6).
When I try to drag a reference into a collection, nothing happens (I can't even begin to drag it). This only applies to references, though---I can still drag notes.
(I did not have this problem on 2.1b2.)

Is anyone else experiencing this? It would be great to get it confirmed and addressed.
Google Chrome (8.0.552.237).
Looking at it again, it appears to be very "picky", sometimes working with search, sometimes not.
Here's a screenshot: https://skitch.com/quinndupont/rj33h/zotero
In Zotero inside Firefox, I can't drag and drop anything. In stand alone Zotero, I can drag items with zero attachments but can't do so if there is an attachment.
We haven't reproduced any other drag-and-drop problem.
Provide Report IDs and explicit steps to reproduce, and check your Quick Copy settings in the Export pane of the Zotero prefs and see if the setting there makes a difference.
quinn_d: What is that screenshot supposed to show? It appears to show dragging working normally.
Firefox 3.6.14, Zotero 2.b14, Mac OSX 10.6.6
I am able to drag and drop if my Default Output Format (under Export inside Preferences) is selected as Wikipedia Citation Template. I can reproduce the failed drag-and-drop behavior if I select BibTeX as the Default Output Format.
@Dan Stillman: thank you for your replies and support for Zotero.
I too appear to be having an issue getting drag and drop references to work in both the Stand Alone version 2.1a3 and the firefox plugin 2.1b7 on my Mac OSX 10.6.6 firefox version 3.6.13.
I'm able to drag if I change my quick copy options to disable when dragging more than 0 items but this then does not paste the (in my case) BibTeX information into the document I drop it on.
This could be that my memory isn't serving me well and this was not how previously I was able to drag and drop BibTeX information - but I was just doing it yesterday when I had the latest 2.0 version of the firefox plug-in so I think I can remember how to do it correctly!
For now my work around is to export my bibliography or the just the item itself as bibtex, open that document and copy paste.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
P.S. I can create a Report ID (and learn what it is) tomorrow if necessary.
I'll see if I can replicate this.
Will the mentioned fix will also fix quick copy on Linux?
