Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

Eclipse 3.6 SR2 and 3.7 M7.
Cannot drag e.g. *.sql file from search view to external editor. To perform such operation I must first open file in eclipse editor, link with package view and then drag it from package view to external editor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform file serach (CTRL-H, File Search tab)
2. Run external editor (e.g. notepad)
3. Try drag first found file from search view to external editor

Workaround:
1. select the results
2. Show In > Package Explorer
3. start drag from there

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
