Extremely annoying is an understatement.  This is the single worst thing for
me about the windows ui.  Or that is, the thing that drives me nuts the most
when I must do something on some windows box.  It's always incredibly
confusing since the screen keeps jumping around on me.

We already have Esc to cancel a DnD operation, would that not be enough?
