Dear all,

This may seem a trivial matter, but I find it annoying nonetheless. I've never been able to actually get rid of that green ribbon after accidentally dragging text around. Pressing "Escape" does not help. I'm using Firefox. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,
Linus

It's horribly annoying. With the latest versions, you can click and drag on a link to any tiddler and the green ribbon will disappear because the dragged item is non-importable.

That does the trick! Thank you!

Hi Linus

As far as I can tell, it's a bug with Firefox; it doesn't happen with other browsers. I agree that it's pretty irritating, and I'd welcome a fix.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Best regards,

Haven't looked at how the green drop-bar is actually triggered, but to fix the fox, this might do:

body:-moz-drag-over .tc-green-dropzone-info-thingy{
    display:block;
}
