Leopard Mail’s drag-n-drop double act
December 5th, 2007 | by Tony Steidler-Dennison |(Via Hawk Wings.)
Like many people (but apparently not all), when I drag an item from the Finder to Mail.app’s Dock icon, it launches two messages, the first without the attachment, the second one with it.
Obviously, this is annoying and I have always regarded it as just that. However, today, a poster on the Apple Discussion Forums points out an even more annoying aspect of this new “feature” in Leopard Mail:
If I drag a file from Finder to Mail icon in Dock, Mail opens and creates two windows. I write my message in the window in front.
Then I get interrupted, and when I come back I need to write another message to a different recipient before I complete the first message. I use the second window for this message (convenient as it is already there…) I place a different file in this message and send it. My first message window then disappears!

I had the same problem which was caused by Growl. If you have growl installed go to the system preferences and stop growl. I bet it will solve it.
