A slightly odd effect. I had Map Dragged disabled (because of the previous problem dropping) and found this:

• If you have Map Drag disabled and drop a power pole in map view you open the Power Panel (and same idea with trains and adding a wagon - you open the train panel)

• If you have Map Drag enabled and drop a power pole/wagon then you don't have these panels open (which seems like the correct behaviour).
