Improved Dragging & folder traversing behavior

I really like the combination of mouse and keyboard when using TC. When starting drag&drop of files to another folder it's possible to go down by pressing Enter on the target folder (folder traversing) and copy/move/link files into a folder which is some levels below. I found a few glitches and some room for improvement.

1. Dragging & folder traversing works only on the opposite panel.
Could you please add this feature also to the source panel?
2. Going up while dragging isn't really supported at the moment. Pressing Backspace will always go up in the source panel.
Could you please add this possibility to the panel where the cursor is while dragging?
3. The cursor behavior when dragging and traversing folder is quite odd. The cursor always changes to normal instead of the normal drag cursor when a subfolder has been entered. However the drop action is always successful.
Could you please ensure that the drag cursor is always correct?

I haven't seen such glitch before but it works a bit differently for me:
I can easilly use Tab, Ctrl+PgDn and Backspace for navigating between panels (left/right) and folders (down/up), it works in both panels. Enter doesn't work for me (it does nothing).
Cursor is always a red circle when I'm in subfolder, and I only can drop files into a subfolder, not just into a panel itself after changing folder.
Sometimes after such walking TC warns that I can't move a folder into its subfolder, or it tells to select files/folders, or it copies wrong files.

1. Sorry, TC needs the file list of the source panel during drag&drop

2. Backspace will break the drag&drop. But you can use ENTER on [..].

3. Seems to be a bug of the 64-bit version, works fine in 32-bit.

What a pity! I guess it would require quite a lot internal changes to make it work?

Mh really? For me drag&drop isn't stopped when pressing backspace - just the source changes to the parent folder. When dropping this folder is used as source.

Indeed it's only in the 64 bit version.

With "Break" I meant that it will misbehave (drag the wrong files). I have added support for backspace in the target panel now.

Btw, you can drag&drop to the breadcrumb bar in the source panel if you need to go up.
