Bug in AS for Mac OS X?

There appears to be a bug in the Finder implementation of Mac OS X.

Normally, if you drag the icon of a file or folder to a droplet/applet the name of the file/folder is made available to the script (indicated by the icon being selected while the selection is hovering over it).

A trivial example of such a script is:

on open (theFolderList)
display dialog ("The folder list is: " & theFolderList as string) & "."
end open



This does not work, however, when you drag the folder icon in the title bar of a finder window to the script's icon. The script icon does not even darken. Yet, you can perform other finder operations with this icon, such as moving a folder to another folder.

Does anyone know if this is fixed in 10.2 (which I have on order) or will be fixed in the future?
