Yes, it is a simple TileList, nothing fancy.

We were able to reproduce the bug using a simple TileList. Thanks.

How did you construct the tile list?  Is it using icons for the images or is that an inline renderer?  

 

I'll have someone look.

Matt,

here is the sample:
http://www.oscartrelles.com/projects/flex/bin/main.html

here are the exact problems you will notice:

1. No drag-selection ( just shift-control-click )

2. Dragging multiple items is buggy:
- Items in a row appear superimposed
- Distance between visible items and mouse cursor is misleading
- Insertion line needs to be vertical

if there is any way to fix these - please let us know asap because we
need to make a HUGE dicision on which software strategy to go with.

thanks in advance.
