--- Comment #19 from ady <[email protected]> ---
FWIW, see bug 58440 comment 54, where I tried to explain and to be explicit
about the order of the actions:

1. Select the area;
2. Release the mouse button;
3. Click-and-hold within the selected area;
4. Start dragging;
5. _Now_ add the optional special key(s) that modifies the desired action (move
/ copy / link).

I also mentioned in that same comment that it might not be the most
user-friendly procedure, but it is as described. The subtlety is the precise
order of the procedure – pressing a modifier key before the click-to-drag will
end up with unwanted consequences instead of the intended result, because the
same modifier keys also affect the clicking action itself.

It was for sure not the first time the exact order and each single step of the
whole procedure had to be clarified, and not the last one either.

Incidentally, probably the procedure that most frequently needs clarification
is how to select just one cell.
