I couldn't work out why dragging didn't work either, however
you can use the rect of the field and click at one side then
click with shiftkey at the other (you have to subtract a bit if
it's a scrolling field).

While I'm here I may as well complain about date conversion to
UK format.  Converting anything to date produces a correct uk
date e.g. 4/1/88 (4th jan) however converting that to a long
date gives 1 April. This effectively stops the diary stack from
working correctly.

Cheers, Dave.
