Re: [TSVN] TSVN+Win2k: Drag doesn't work after some time

Hi!

I don't know whether someone is interested in that, but I found the source of my problems. Let me give the solution for reference.

I found a reproduction recipe for my problem, so I was able to find its root cause: After right-clicking on an item in the explorer _tree_ view (the tree on the left side in the split-window mode) the described behavior appeared, re-opening the explorer always fixed it.

Step-by-step uninstalling old applications I found the guilty guy: The PGP suite. Uninstalling my rather old version gave me back unconditional drag'n'drop and all associated nice TSVN features.
