Just FYI, I've noticed similar behaviour on WinRAR-- if I double-click
to open an archive or folder inside an archive "uncleanly" (meaning the
mouse moves slightly between the first click and the second, although
not off the selection), I get a 'forbidden' cursor (circle with a slash
through it), am unable to do anything, and eventually the action times
out with a message that the drag-and-drop operation I was supposedly
trying to perform was not permitted.

I usually just kill the app and reopen it to try again. I haven't got
round to setting WinRAR to accept single-clicks instead of the default
double-click (which, iirc, is a config option), but that's the
'solution' I would expect to work.

Anyway, WinRAR otherwise works beautifully (without needing tweakage of
any sort), but the mention of a very similar issue on another program
suggests that I should report this (very unusual) problem as possibly
related, in case that helps narrow the issue down.
