Can't copy files to left-hand pane folders

If I drag a file or folder from the mail window, to a folder in the left-pane, the only option is "move". I cannot copy holding either ctrl key.

Just updated to:

Now works like Windows. Copy is the default when dragging, holding "shift" forces move.

Not necessarily. The default actions depends on if you're copying/moving to the same drive/partition or a different drive/partition.

If you drag to the -same- drive, the file is moved. If you drag to a -different- drive, the file is copied. Holding SHIFT when dragging will do the opposite.
