Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. debug attached main.mxml app ( breakpoint on _DRAG_COMPLETE_handler )
2. do a drap/copy of "leaf" node

Actual Results:
when entering _DRAG_COMPLETE_handler : new node uid = same as copied node

Expected Results:
because TestClass class implements IUID interface, new node should have a different uid than copied node

Workaround (if any):
no workaround

Reason : because of copyItemWithUID method which includes following starting code :

var copyObj:Object = ObjectUtil.copy(item);
if (copyObj is IUID)

copyObj can never be IUID even though item is : ObjectUtil.copy does apparently not transfer this information.
