iMovie, when moving clips.
The OS X dock, when dragging icons.
Not normally with lists of things or with text items, though, that is true...
There must be a HIG out there concerning this somewhere!
I don't see anything stated explicitly in Apple's Aqua HIGs, but the distinction appears to be with whether or not an item is part of a document. The finder sees icons as part of its documents (the desktop, folders, etc.) so those icons stick around and are highlighted during the drag-and-drop operation. OTOH, the dock itself "contains" its icons, so the icons disappear while being dragged?
Not sure, and this certainly doesn't explain the clips in iMovie...
However, looking at this again: You normally drag clips in iMovie to reorder them, or remove them from the pane. It is relatively rare that you would drag a clip out of iMovie to produce a file on the disk. Similarly, dragging an item out of the dock makes it go "poof": it doesn't move it to a different location, while dragging within the dock "reorders" the items. OTOH, you would drag finder icons between windows (into different documents and programs); i wonder if this has something to do with it?

An update to the previous GetInLine stack has been posted. For those who missed it, this is an attempt at a more intuitive method for drag-and-drop repositioning of lines within list fields.
I find it much more intuitive now that the dragged line disappears from
the list while I'm dragging it.
I'm still wondering whether this is the right way to go. When
dragging/dropping text in word processing apps, the dragged text doesn't
disappear -- it changes position when the mouse is released. When
reordering a layers in a graphics package (Adobe/Macromedia) the original
dragged layer stays where it is until the mouse is released. iTunes follows
suit as well -- keep the original until the mouse is released. Perhaps the
type of application dictates how this should be handled but so far I haven't
seen any examples of removing the clicked line from the field. Any examples
out there that remove the clicked line when reordering?
The only other thing I would like is the ability to cancel a drag somehow - perhaps if you move the mouse pointer outside the field.
Yes, that should be next.

Any chance there could be an option, as per the request quoted below, to cancel the drag -- but at the same time, support drag-and-drop (so that if the dragged item is plopped on a compatible target, it can be moved/copied there)?
It should be quite doable, but the copying part will be up to you as the
developer. :-) I can make the clicked line a property or variable that you
can pass to whatever object you have.
