Title:
  "Content -> Files" accessibility links show up when attempting to drag
  and drop

Bug description:
  In 1.9 for accessibility purposes we added a feature to the "Content
  -> Files" screen, which makes it so that if you click on a thumbnail
  of a file, it shows you a list of locations you could move the file
  to. This is an accessible alternative to the drag-and-drop system for
  moving your files to different folders.

  There are a couple of problems with this currently.

  First, the patch that we added to make it work in IE, has the side
  effect that in Firefox and Chromium, the accessible alternative shows
  up when you start dragging and dropping, as opposed to when you just
  click on it. Also, the thumbnail shifts up and away from the mouse
  pointer at the same time, meaning you need to click on it, it pops
  open, then you have to move your mouse back over the thumbnail's new
  location.

  To replicate:

  1. Go to Content -> Files
  2. Upload at least one file
  3. Create a folder called "Test"
  3. Move your mouse pointer over the thumbnail's icon and try to drag and drop the thumbnail icon onto the Test folder.

  Expected result: You drag it onto the Test folder and drop it onto the
  Test folder. You do not see the accessibility options.

  Actual result: When you depress the mouse button, the accessibility
  option shows up, and the thumbnail moves away out from under your
  pointer.

  Using git bisect, I see this started with this patch, for IE support:
