Well, I fixed them, and the result is satisfying, although it is not
what I originally intended.

My screen contains TEdit controls with the following data:
[sequence number] [data] [data] [data]
[sequence number] [data] [data] [data]
etc.
The sequence numbers are read only, it does not accept keyboard input.
I wanted to select a numer of lines by dragging from any control to
any other control (in a different line). The result was that is was
harder to edit a data field. 
For example, I could no more select a word within a field, and as I
told you, double clicking a field (which opened a modal dialog box)
caused unexpected trouble.
I solved the problem by applying the drag events only the the first
field of each row, with the sequence number. This field is read only.
