When performing a drag and drop operation FTC uses a rectangle that is as big as the window. This looks bad and might confuse some users that just want to move a few words to another position.

Please consider to use no recangle on drag an drop instead just change the mouse cursor.

I have stated a couple times before that this will be a
version 1.1 enhancement to trim the size of the selection
rectangle to the actual selected text displayed. Displaying
no rectangle would be worse since it provides no visual feed back
to the user.
