Using the demo app I cannot drag and drop selected text in FTC beta 14 preview 20 

This is working as far as I can see.

Note there is a slight time delay associated with beginning a drag
and drop. This delay is used to help distinguish between a
selection extension and the drag and drop operation. The cursor
will change from and i-beam to an arrow to indicate you can now
drag the text. Are you running into this time delay?
Yes. If I waited for a second then the drag works fine. You did want spaz testing though
The forced delay doesn't feel right though. BBEdit doesn't have this delay. Perhaps this delay isn't needed if the mousedown in within selected text, indicating a quick DnD action rather than a selection extension. Is this scenario able to be accommodated?
