            Bug ID: 107615
           Summary: UI: Area by which a cell can be dragged is WAY too
                    small and gives no cursor icon indication
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: timbacontent at gmail.com

Description:
1. enter text in a cell
2. try to drag (and thus cut/paste) the cell to another cell location

bug: with dozens of attempts it's possible, but the area where the mouse must
be hovered is far too small for easy use

excel behavior: when you hover the mouse, the cursor icon changes indicating
that a move operation is possible

calc behavior: the cursor icon never changes, whether or not you've positioned
the mouse such that a copy/drag operation is possible

general: this is a systemic UI problem - Calc forces the uses into trial and
error mode in many formatting/cell border/cell background scenarios

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter text in a cell
2. try to drag (and thus cut/paste) the cell to another cell location

Actual Results:

Expected Results:
Calc should behave like Excel but be smarter, less buggy and more elegantly
designed. Excel is a UI nightmare. Calc is better in some areas; worse in
others. It's very disappointing


Reproducible: Always
