Adobe Air: Drag causes weird Application Crash

Question

Hey, this is weird: I created a mx:List and using an mx:Canvas with some Items as ItemRenderer. Everything works fine, the List is displayed correctly. Now I set dragEnabled="true", dropEnabled="true" and dragMoveEnabled="true" to archive the ability to reorder my Items via Drag and Drop.

But as soon as I start to Drag an Item the whole Application crashes with:

Error: Error #3200: Cannot perform operation on closed window.

I don't understand why this is happening. The mx:List lies in an custom Component, which is embedded in the Applications main window.

Had a similar crash issue. Is it consistent? Do you have any scrollable lists or data grids? In my case, there was an element at the bottom of the list that was ~1/3 displayed. When the list was shorter, it didn't happen.
