Summary:
Selecting text then dragging it no longer works. It did work in previous versions of Xcode.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some text in an Xcode code editor.
2. Click, hold briefly and drag.

Expected Results:
The text is dragged and can be moved to another location, to Finder to be saved as a clipping, etc.

Actual Results:
A new selection simply starts.

Regression:
I’m not sure when this broke. It certainly worked in older versions of Xcode, and is broken in Xcode 6.2. It may have been broken in Xcode 6.1.x, as well.

Comments

Further info: restarting Xcode seems to fix the problem temporarily, but it soon stops working again.
