Bug Description

I haven't tracked down the exact cause yet, but wanted to document this since it has happened to me several times on multiple machines now.

After moving several files around via drag and drop, dragging suddenly stops working in that tab. If I open a second Files tab or window, drag works fine there.

There is a dnd_disabled flag which theoretically should always be cleared after being set (it has to be set to enable rubber-banding for example). If this flag gets left in the "disabled" state for some reason it could explain this bug. Ideally a way of reliably producing the bug should be found although if it is a subtle timing issue that might be difficult.
