Ever since upgrading to Leopard I can't option-drag a block of text
to make a copy directly above or below the current selection. I
often select an existing method and do this to create a template for
a new method, for example. This also happens in iCal, Safari,
TextEdit and my own app so it must be a Cocoa bug. It still works
fine on my Tiger machine and if you drag anywhere else in the
document on Leopard, even just one character further on. I filed a
bug about this (<radar:5668841>) but it came back closed with the
comment that it does actually work. Try as I might I cannot get
this to work. I see that Uli K. blogged about this problem back in
November '07, is anyone else seeing the same problem?
I can confirm that I'm seeing the issue you describe. I don't
normally use text dragging, so I've never seen it before, and I didn't
test on Tiger. But I just tested on Leopard with Xcode 3.0 and see
the problem. You can drop anywhere except adjacent to the selection.
When try to drop above, the drop-insertion point would actually be
right at the beginning of the selection, and so I can kind of see why
it might not work. However, when trying to drop below, the drop-
insertion point would be on the next line and it's more obviously
wrong. There's a whole line of space where the cursor is clearly not
in contact with the original selection, and yet the drop fails.
So, you're not insane. ;)
Cheers,
Ken
