In detail:  I was using the keygraph to change the scale of the Sparkle object.  When I pulled the line below the boundary of the topmost window [the graph for Scale], the cursor jumped to  the underlying window [the main keygraph list] instead of continuing to pull the value downward as would have happened in previous Poser versions.  The underlying window also moved up to topmost.  (You can see the 'pulling' cursor in the middle of Play Range on the After screencap.)

The expected action in any drag-drop, like the action of a scrollbar, 
is to keep pulling the 'grabbed' item until you release the mouse,
even when you cross over HWND boundaries.  It appears that 
P7 is not doing the expected thing.  

The cursor also switched over to the 'rotate' symbol after crossing
the boundary, though this symbol doesn't show in the screencaps
for some reason.

I use this particular move quite often in animation, so I'm familiar 
with the way it behaved in previous versions.  The drag did in fact 
continue to pull the parameter value until you released the mouse.

Note also that the name of the Scale parameter doesn't show in
the pulldown box at upper right.  This may be related or not.....
