Brand new Dell/Alienware laptop with current and fully-patched Win7 x64 OS. 
Brand new install of WS 1.6.2.

The Edit/Preferences/User Interface/Columns screen allows you to add new
columns.  After adding a new DeltaTime column (which was added at the end), I
attempted to move it immediately after the primary time field.  The field
allows the usual drag&drop capability, but as soon as you drop the field, it
moves slowly back to the original position once again.  This occurs with EVERY
field, not just the newly added one, and has the same result whether moving a
field towards the middle of the list or towards the end of the list.  It is
almost as if the new position is detected as being invalid for some reason.

My current production laptop is a Dell E6500 with WinVista x64, running WS
v1.4.6, and it does not experience this problem.
