I can confirm John Jason's report : OOo 2.2 (which is bundled by default with the Feisty OS) works very well with the 64-bit version of Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on an AMD 64-bit desktop. No problems whatever with drag and drop ! Alas, other difficulties, with certain video and not least, audio drivers remain, but these seem to have more to do with 64-bit computing in general than with Feisty in particular. In any event, an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty is recommended....

Welcome to the club. I spent hours and hours trying to fix it. Drag and drop is not the entire problem. If you test your installation of OOo you will probably also find that the web wizard (File > Wizards > web) will crash OOo. You will probably also find that some of the settings in Tools > Options are not saved. Here is a link to the most recent Ubuntu thread about the matter: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296702 Note that the thread is in the Ubuntu amd64 forum, not Kubuntu, but the problem and its cause (unknown) are the same. So is the fix at the end of that thread. I am happy to report that my OOo 2.2 that was automatically installed with the upgrade from Edgy amd64 to Feisty amd64 has fixed all the problems. In my opinion, Edgy was appropriately named. The sooner you get to Feisty, the happier you will be. :)
