Steps To Reproduce:	Generate some noise. Create another, empty audio track. ctrl-shift-f to make them tall. 1) Right-click just under one of the track names. You cannot drag to rearrange. But right-click in the lower-left corner of the track control panel. Now you can. Why this inconsistency? Similar for middle click. 2) Right-click a track as above, drag, and release the button. Move the mouse up and down. The track still rearranges. This stops if you left-click and release anywhere.

Probably the intention was that only left click should drag tracks.

Testing on w10 06Aug17 nightly and macOS 10.12.6 10Aug17

On both platforms only the left click in the TCP will facilitate the drag rearrangement. I believe that this is as intended.

Looks to be fixed
