I tried to reproduce this bug only by dragging emails between folders. Haven't tried it while dragging other things.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.You should be subscribed to some rss that requests an user and a password (such as a gmail account rss)
2.Open thunderbird
3.Click on a folder to show the emails inside it
4.Start dragging an email from the list to another folder, but don't drop it
5.All the above steps should have been done before thunderbird requests the user and password of the rss feed (having many rss subscriptions or a slow connection helps)
6.Wait for the modal dialog that asks for the user and password to show up
7.Finish the drag & drop operation
Actual Results:  
The windows task manager doesn't reports anything unusual but TB freezes. It doesn't responds to any clicks (including in the close window button) and its only possible to close it by killing its process from the task manager.

Expected Results:  
The drag & drop operation should be cancelled and the focus should change to the modal dialog, or no modal dialog should appear in the mid of a drag and drop operation.

I have no extensions enabled and I'm using the default theme.
This may be a specific form of the very generic bug #407359.
