Description Pierre-Charles David CLA 2017-10-10 04:10:21 EDT
When dragging an element E contained in a container C, even if C is "auto-sized", as soon as the mouse cursor leaves C'a area we interpret the user operation as an attempt to drag'n'drop E outside of C. It would be nice to have an alternative mode (maybe triggered by a modifier key like Alt) to force the operation to be interpreted as a plain move, and to automatically enlarge C enough to keep E inside of it.
