Moving clips between events crashes FCPX every time...

Question

I'm trying to move clips from one event to another.  I'm duplicating the clip first, and then I try to drag the duplicate of the clip to another event.  Every time I do this, FCPX crashes.
Is this the right way to move clips?  If not, how do I properly move clips from one event to another?  What could be causing FCPX to crash every time?  (I've tried different clips in different projects, and it still always crashes.)

Hi Russ--
Yes, I tried his suggestion to use Organize Event.  I don't think it helped.
I have a feeling your second question is probably just as if not more relevant.  I tend to have almost everything in one project coming from the event it is associated with.  But then I have some credits or titles or something that might be in another event.  I wanted to bring them into the associated event to keep everything organized well.
But it seems like maybe what I should do is give up on that and wait to do anything like this until the project is finished and I'm ready to move it.  I guess maybe I could then use the option to move the project and referenced events when I move the finished project?  But the other event referenced is also referenced by other projects, so I don't know if that is a good idea.
Or maybe I should be using File> Consolidate Project Media...? But I don't know exactly what effect that would have. 
I had just decided that it seemed like something I could do manually, and, when that didn't work, I got hung up on why it wouldn't work that way.  I wanted to know why it wouldn't work that way, and now I've kind of given up on figuring that out in favor of continuing work on the projects.
