While developing in Orion file contents can be lost of you highlight them and drag them.

This happened to me while developing, it seems like a pretty serious bug.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a file in Orion
2. Select all text
3. Drag the text into the mini-nav (which is what I did by accident).

Outcome: All file contents are deleted. This can be un-done with a ctrl+z, but if a user were to not think about what just happened and refresh the page, with say, auto-save enabled, file contents are lost.

I do not see this as a bug as the user is doing a move DND operation.  It is possible to change the operation by pressing the Alt key (Cmd key on Mac).  But I checked  and most editors seem to only allow move DND operations to happen within the editor and if the drop target is another widget/app/editor, the DND operation is always copy.  I change the orion editor behaviour accordingly.
