Meanwhile I found out a possible cause for the non-drag behavior of the fields. For some reason the "traversal on" property of the non-draggable fields was set to true (all scripts have a mousedown handler containing "grab me"). After setting "traversal on" to false all fields could be moved as expected. So I was glad not to be forced to recreate the whole stack under 2.4. The non-dragging effect can be reproduced under 2.4 or 2.4.1: - create a field - put a mousedown handler with "grab me" into the script - put some text into the field - adapt the width of the field by "set the width of fld x to the formattedwidth of fld x" (without this step the non-dragging effect will not appear) - in the properties dialog of the field, tab "behavior", check "Traversal On" and "Lock Text", make sure to uncheck "Auto Hilite" and "List Behavior" Now this field *cannot* be dragged around with the mouse despite of its "grab me" script Under Metacard 2.3.2 and earlier it *can* be dragged without a problem. Uncheck "Traversal On" and the field can now be dragged.
