You found the correct solution. Not returning from FL_PASTE will eventually cause the dnd operation to time out, leaving all mouse states undefined. Also, the timeout is a good method to solve this, but for clarity, an "idle" callback would do the same as a timeout with 0.0 time. > I would like to write an article with example concerning DND in > fltk.

Would this be useful or should I not bother? Yes, that would be very useful. Although there was a lot of theory written about DND, you got into a much more practical lesson wich would be great for everyone else to learn by and from. When we wrote the DND code quite a while ago, we saw the the FL_PASTE shoudl return quickly, but I never anticipated that someone would open up a dialog during FL_PASTE, so I never warned about the consequences. I should really add a warning (or your article as a new chapter when you are done writing it).
