Thanks Nick, I appreciate your comments. It's good to have multiple ideas/processes for folks as it seems that, depending on settings and personal preferences, some of these behaviours react differently between users. It seemed like an issue that deserved special attention due to the fact that some were having no issues at all and others were totally frustrated, thus believing it to be a bug. I'm hoping that this solves the issue for most users who have been experiencing problems with the Drag & Drop to Favourites bar within Mail. Maybe this magnification issue will affect the Drag & Drop feature in other areas of the OS as well.
