EVALUATION Looks like latest DnD rework did not fixed this problem. Right now we see any component as a potential drop target and generating dragExited every time we criss the border of the component. I admit that this is a problem but i don't think it quelifies as a P3 and hence i lower its priority. Will try to fix it in 7u6.

EVALUATION I'm working on optimizing the DnD event generation and this should be fixed with bunch of other DnD problems when i'm done. Will check it again when i'm done with DnD rework.
