in windows when dragging attachement from the main window to a composition window,
the main window is brought to front -> hiding the composition window !

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a composition window and put it in front of the main mail window
2. try to drag an attachement from the attachement pane of a read message in the
main mail window to the attachement pane of the composed message (this is a new
feature!)
3. 

Actual Results:  
The main window jumps to the front and (typically) hides the composition window
so you can't drop the attachement

Expected Results:  
keep the originating window (where you drag the attchement from) in the back.

This is a new and great feature. It probably works in non-windows OS but , since in 
windows, a click bring a window to the front, you have this bug.

This is not a bug but how the feature works according to windows conventions. 
In order to use the feature, open a compose window, highlight the elements from
the main window you want to drag&drop, hold them over the button on the start
bar that represents your compose window for a second, this will bring the
compose window to the front and you can drop.

Fixing this would not go against Windows conventions.
