When dragging a folder via the proxy icon in Finder, it is missing the element "com.apple.finder.node" in the Drag Pasteboard that is included when dragging a folder icon from a Finder window.

This missing item leads to the effect that the dragged folder will not open spring loaded opening of folders.

Should be easy to reproduce: First, drag a folder out of any Finder window onto a different folder and hold it there or 2 seconds. This shuold then pop open the destination folder. But if you try dragging the proxy icon from the window title bar, this doesn't happen but it should.

It's a simple oversight of the programmer not including said pasteboard item, I think.
