Wierd multi-file "selection" & mouse drag behavior

[Hiji]

Trying out both June's and May's release of Wine, I
noticed that there is some wierd behavior when
selecting multiple files and dragging within an
application.  It basically makes the ability to select
and drag files unusable.

In my case, I am using AbsoluteFTP; as you guessed,
its an FTP app.  If you can imagine, within it, there
are two windows that look like the file Explorer on
Windows.  On the left, is the local machine and the
right is the box you've FTPed into.  On wine-20041201,
I can hold down shift and select >2 files on the
remote box.  Then using my mouse, drag them to my
localbox.

On (at least), these last two releases, I select
multiple-files, and the moment I try to drag, the
multi-select turns into a one file select. 
Furthermore, the app enters into a state where it
thinks I am holding the mouse down dragging the one
file around.  Minimizing and maximizng the app doesn't
work either; in previous versions, when I couldn't
drag a file from one window to the other, I'd
minimize/ maximize the app (which would "reset"
things), and I could drag files once again.

Also, on my CodeWright application, I can no longer
highlight text by dragging the mouse across code.

Any ideas?  I'm sure it will ring a bell for someone
who may have been working towards improving the mouse
dragging capabilities.

Thanks!
Hiji

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.
