You're referring to dragging files to an application, correct?  I haven't
noticed any oddities with dragging from one Finder window to another, but I
haven't tried dragging a group of files to an application yet.  I can see how
that would be annoying, though...it's like how Windows reverses the first and
last filename in the list (though at least you can get around that).

That's a shame.  I don't really like setting the dock to auto-hide, but I think
I might have to in order to keep my sanity.  That's something I like about both
Classic Mac OS and Windows -- they both have very non-obstructive ways of seeing
what is running and changing tasks.  The dock looks nice, but it can use some
work (I really wouldn't care about it if the bottoms of windows didn't open
*under* it).
