AlumniHi Daniel,
TestComplete simulates user actions more quickly than a user would do them. Some applications cannot handle quick drag-and-drops properly so that you can face the issues you're describing. To avoid the issue, you can adjust the dragging speed in TestComplete.
When using the Drag operation, you can control the dragging speed using the Dragging delay option in Tools > Current Project Properties > Playback. For example, you can increase it up to 50 ms (meaning 20 px drag per 50 ms) or higher to avoid possible dragging issues.
If you prefer to use the LLPlayer object methods, try increasing the delays (the last parameter) to, say, 2000 (2 seconds).
Let me know whether this helps.
