Copy with Ctrl-drag doesn't work

[Gustavo]

1. Double-click a variable name to select it;
2. Press Ctrl and click on the selected text to drag-copy it;
3.a. In 7.0, it works fine;
3.b. In 7.1.1.1139 the hyperlink will be active, and cursor jumps to variable declaration.

In 7.1 you first need to start the drag operation, and hold down Ctrl later to copy instead of move.

Huh? how come? in other windows apps it is ctl-click.

well, i just checked and Word does ctl-click for copy, wordpad does click drag ctl for copy!

and, trying it in 7.1 i see that BOTH ways are supported.

i can see where click drag ctl would be nice, if you start to drag and then decide o i should have ctl-clicked you can correct your mistake easier.

i don't remember seeing this in the list of new things for 7.1 though.

Well, so it still works, though in a different manner. That's ok with me.

One minor additional request: we used to have a different cursor for drag-copy (it had a small plus sign). Can you restore it?
