That's a funny way to put it!

This property (cancelling a drag by dropping it somewhere that doesn't
accept that kind of drag) is pretty much a necessary feature for any
implementation of drag and drop. Otherwise, you would release the mouse over
some random object and ... the original object would disappear? There's
really no sensible answer other than "nothing happens; the drag is
cancelled".
