I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what you mean, so all I can suggest for now is to create a bind on the key of your choice to lock and unlock the powers in trays whenever you want them to be movable.
/bind KEY "optiontoggle disabledrag"
Okay, say you have an additional tray of powers open,
1, 2, 3 AND 4 (with 4 being the additional tray).
What will sometimes happen is that tray 4 (or whatever the number happens to be for the additional) will be non-responsive. It doesn't respond to clicks, it doesn't respond to keyboard presses, and CTRL+CLICK on-auto powers (like Hasten, etc) don't fire off.
I've been noticing this a LOT lately.
One of the ways to sometimes shake said additional tray loose is to slide to an adjacent tray (if it's stuck on Tray 4, change that tray to 3 or 5, then back to 4. Usually this will allow the tray to start working again.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

The only time I've seen that happen is for trays that happen to be along the right side of the screen. That's a known issue related to the Pop Help. Even if you have that feature disabled, it still seems to reserve that area of the screen for it. When you click on that area, you are really clicking on the invisible interface, not the power tray. That's why it appears unresponsive. Clicking on another area of that powertray (or switching the numbers that are likely above the Pop Help area) will put the focus back on that tray, moving it back on top of the Pop Help invisible display, allowing you to click on it normally again. |

If this is not what you are experiencing, then I am unsure what else it could be.
For now, I have just been keeping the first slot of that tray empty so I can just click on that to change focus instead of switching the tray numbers back and forth. It seems easier to me until it's fixed anyway.

I hope they fix that. It's a pain in the butt.|

I've also noticed it in other areas of the screen though, not caused by pop help.
Either way, it's pretty darn dumb that we're not able to use a tray well on the side of the screen. I guess we're supposed to block our view of the game with it instead.
