Drag and Drop clippings?

[rubaiyat]

I have been a great fan of clippings to move and store the enormous amount of information I encounter in my travels.

However now in Panther when you drag them into TextEdit you get the file icon and not the contents.

This is the latest bizarre behaviour to obstruct productivity in OSX, anyone got any ides how to get it to do what it is supposed to do?

huh, I can pull clippings from the net and drag them directly into text edit or anything else without having an icon show. I also was able to drag text clipping to the desktop the icon does show up and then I can also just drop the icon into text edit and it changes it to text. using finder 10.3

I have no trouble with the drag to app, or the drag to desktop. But definitely the trip from the desktop clipping file to TextEdit or anything else is a problem.

It works in 10.2.8 but not in 10.3.3.
