I've noticed that if I create a new, blank document and then drag a text/html file onto the doc, TM will overwrite/fill up the empty document with the contents of the dragged file. Since my goal in creating the new file and then dragging another one on to the doc was to copy and paste between them, you foiled my plans!
Can you just leave blank docs in their current state when I drag a file onto the doc?
Thanks!

Yes, I can't find it ATM, but somewhere in some Apple document it did state that if the user opens a file with an (unmodified) 'untitled' window open, the application should use this window for the newly opened document.
So best to open the file before pressing command-n.

Or just press space-backspace quickly, to make the file modified.
