[Jalview-discuss] Edit Sequence Name/Description crash

Hello,

I'm wondering if a small bug in Jalview could be fixed that tends to frustrate the heck out of our new users.

The bug seems to be specific to the Mac-platform, and can be easily replicated by:

 1.  Right clicking on any sequence label
 2.  [Sequence Name] ==> Edit Name/Description

In the resulting window, the Sequence Name section is highlighted in blue - if one attempts to click & drag this blue-highlighted section ==> the program will freeze with the spinning wheel of death.

We realize that no-one would actually want to drag/drop this text, but unfortunately it is very easy to accidently perform this action when solely trying to edit the sequence name.

Hope this makes sense - thanks for your help,
Eric
