B7: Bug - Cannot drag and drop Div element

Beta
#1

Perhaps this is intended, or a side effect of it acting in a similar way to a Column / Cell element, but it is not currently possible to drag the Div element around in the editor pane.

My specific use case is using the Div element as an image frame (setting the background as an <img /> element and using padding and object fit to achieve responsive image frames) so the Div element itself is very selectable and feels like it should be draggable. However I understand that in other cases, when there is a lot of physical elements contained within it, it may not be so sensible to allow dragging of the containing Div element.

Thanks!

Good point here. Elements with dropzone functionality were specifically designed to not be movable. To date, all our elements that were drop targets (Column, Cell) etc. didn’t need to be moved directly because they have their own UIs for managing position, layout, etc. The Div is more arbitrary and could potentially be movable.

This isn’t something we’ll change for the official release at this point, but we’ll keep it in mind.
