Its a known bug (or multiple bugs?) which have since been fixed in CVS.
There hasn't yet been a released version of PCB which encorporated those
fixes, but building CVS isn't really that hard if you want the latest

The bug trigger was probably something to do with dragging outside PCB's
window bounds, but I can't recall exactly. Thanks go to Tomaz Solc for
the fixes.
