Gary and others, This issue comes up from time to time as new folks join this list. It has been my experience, and that of others as well, that the cut and or copy and paste maneuver works much more reliably with JAWS.

A long time ago I successfully used the JAWS drag and drop; however, the two elements involved must be in the same window which much of the time does not occur.

I've never, ever gotten that non-feature to work. I don't even know why they say JAWS has this feature. Do you think the people at FS have ever been able to use it? I seriously doubt it. Maybe they could either take it out, or better yet, actually make it work as a "new feature" in version 12. lol. Don't hold your breath, though.
