Could you say a bit more about exactly how drag & drop caused problems? Did it crash your machine? Did it work incorrectly? Or are you saying that you were not aware of drag & drop and so you caused changes to your spreadsheet that you did not intend? It would be good to narrow down the issue, so we can see whether this is a bug in drag & drop itself, or something else.
