Screen dragging = While playing in windows mode and running the user clicks and holds the windows form border.

When the screen is released the player is at the spot they clicked on the window. This is normally used in PVP to throw someone pursuing you off and works extremely well against melee. The server shows the player running one direction when in fact they are standing still.

Wrong. On this server the act of screendragging does not make it appear as if the character is continuing to go forward, ghosting is the one that has that effect, which is why when someone is going linkdead you keep seeing them running and then warping back to the anchor point. When a player screendrags their character immidiately disappears and then reappears when the screen is released, the player appears where the character would have been with that continued trajectory. The act of screendragging does not cause the server to stop recieving movement packets, thus the character advances to another location, it does not spawn where it started dragging as you are suggesting.
