Apparently, what you need to do is to "initialize" the drag (source.)

EDIT2:

Apparently, there's a bug in the drag event (go figure) which does not update the clientX and clientY properties (source.) They are updated on some other events, like the dragover event, however that event will fire only while the object is being dragged over a plausible drop target. A way out of such a silly situation would be something as crude as this:

Column B
            
        
        

            

                
One
                
Two
            
            

                
Three
