FWIW - as user, was often frustrated when trying to drag empty textboxes (i.e. sympathy for OP). Learned to put single character as workaround. Proposal for alternative behavior: If ((new empty text box) && drag)) then keep (i.e., added to Navigator, like Ctrl-Z) else Drop (current behavior) (Assumption is: user dragging an empty textbox is going to insert immediately afterwards, minimizing "orphan" problem from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=98856#c2">comment #2</a>.) Should this bug have "major" importance?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
