Okay.

Ah, it looks as if a secondary editor window wrongly *thinks* that it is 
the only editor window, and constructs the popup menu accordingly. The 
menu of the primary editor correctly reflects other editors.

No target responds to dragging, regardless of CTRL :-(

BTW, CTRL is the wrong modifier, it's intended to *ignore* all possible 
targets.

But the DragManager is broken since a long time, and nobody cares about 
according bug reports :-(

This one possibly has been fixed, cannot reproduce such errors after SVN 
update?

Cannot reproduce after SVN update :-)
