Can't drag files/folders in list view
This has happened on two Macs now. Once on a 2x3Ghz Dual Core MacPro on 10.5 and most recently on the latest X-Serve on 10.5 Server. On the MacPro, I wound up reinstalling the OS since I wasn't very far along in the setup. The X-Serve is still malfunctioning.
The only way to drag something is to put the window in either icon or column view.
Logging out and in as another user doesn't temporarily alleviate or fix the problem. Restarting either.
Booting to the 10.5 disk and repairing system disk permissions doesn't fix.
There is a mention of this on this post but I see no fix for the problem:

This youtube post (strange forum...) shows the problem. (I do not have the copy/paste problem though.)

Since this has happened twice to me within three weeks, I imagine there must be others this has happened to.
Anyone have any ideas?
MORE DETAILS: When both computers came out of the box, dragging worked but somewhere along the way, dragging stopped working. The Mac Pro was a factory install and the X-Serve was a format and install (the way I usually do things.) Both setups are vanilla - no third party apps yet! On the X-Serve, I did a custom install leaving out the extra fonts, languages and I pared down the printers installed.
Thanks

Way too many to list... Last count 41!, Mac OS X (10.5.1)
