I get the same message from time to time when I have the split screen. Without thoroughly researching it, I have the impression that if I move from the 'highlighted' side to the other with some commands, the program assumes I am trying to 'drag and drop' to the same one I started with. I have found that usually if I click the blue grayed-out band to highlight it before I click somewhere else, I seldom get that message. A comment on copying from one side to the other, which you may already be aware of. When you are filling out the individual screen you can just click the title of the box to copy from the last saved individual. Thus, when you are entering twins, you can just click 'date' and 'in' to copy the date and place. You can do the same thing across the split screen. If you have the same person in both, but only partial or incorrect data in one side, you can click to edit, then save, on the correct one. Then on the other side, click to edit the same incorrect person. Now you only need to click name, in, date, or other field to copy it. I don't know if the same would work on events or notes or other screens, but it is sure quick and handy on individual data.
