Ok, so the real solution is to buy a good falcon. :) (I dunno if there's a
patch for it and what the nature of the bug is, I just saw several Falcons
at PMP suffering from this problem, and all the owners were already used
to the phenomenon, in fact they were surprised that I even *tried* to drag
a folder icon from the harddisc to the floppy. :) They were all happily
using Kobold for this, which seemed to help).

Another reason for me to be happy with my c-lab. :)

Maurits.
