Description Marina Zhurakhinskaya 2009-06-29 19:26:00 UTC 
Currently, hitting Escape while dragging closes the overlay (or clears the
search), while the user likely intended to cancel the drag operation.
Similarly, typing while dragging shows up in the search box. 

We should grab the keyboard while the drag is in progress so that these things 
don't happen and assign some keys such as Escape to cause the drag operation
to be cancelled.
