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?

This is actually a behavior change in the basic NSTextView class and will be fixed in a future Software Update. Your bug was processed badly but there were plenty of other reports to prompt a change.

Thanks, Chris, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I was trying to figure out if I should re-submit my bug report with better steps to reproduce but it sounds like I don't need to.
