Subject: OS/X drag and drop bug report
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:56:47 -0500

In earlier versions (e.g. 22.x), the Mac OS/X Emacs.app correctly  
implemented drag and drop for the file icon in the frame title bar.  
For example, while visiting a file "file.txt", I could drag this icon  
into a Finder window and the file would be copied there, or I could  
drag the icon into an email message and the file would be attached.

In this version (23.1.2), the drag does not always pick up the visited  
file---instead it sometimes picks up the file corresponding to some  
other buffer.

Is there any way you can narrow down the conditions under which this  
happens?  Starting from invoking /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/Emacs -Q from Terminal command line if possible.

I could not reproduce it in some cursory attempts here.

thanks.

More information was requested two years ago, but was apparently not
given, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the bug still exists, please
reopen the report.
