Hi,

I followed your suggestion and was able to open a dialog when a tag was 
added to the WPE from the palette. However, this only works when I 
select a tag in the palette with one mouse click (mouse down+up) and 
then click again in the editor. If I just do a drag-and-drop (mouse down 
in the palette area, hold, move the cursor to editor, and release the 
mouse button) the dialog never shows up. Is this by design or there is 
something I missed?

Thanks
