Dragging tasks to folders at bottom of screen
R K Elleson
via web
My apologies if this is answered somewhere else but I am having a problem dragging tasks from the right hand (main) pane to the bottom of the left hand pane because I have many projects so the folder that I am trying to drag to is off the bottom of the screen.
I expect that when I drag a task into the left pane and move the dragged task downwards, that the pane would scroll down automatically but it doesn't (Chrome 6). In fact when the dragged task is moved down in the left hand pane, the tasks in the right hand pane scroll down! I have to scroll the left pane down manually to move the target folder visible before dragging the task across.
Is this me, a bug or a browser feature?

Oh, I just re-read your post and realized I thought you were referring to something different.
Yeah, I'm not sure what we can do about both left and right panes scrolling independently when dragging from right to left... will have to think about that. Might be tough to determine which pane to scroll given the way browsers interpret drag/drop. Will ask around to see if any of the developers have any insights into this.
Thanks for posting. Interesting...

Eh... it's a feature (shortcoming). You'd think you could drag projects between lists via the left navi, but you can't (yet).
If you need to move projects, click on "Projects" in the left navi, then from the right hand side drag projects to other lists (someday, trash etc).
This will be improved in a coming release.

OK thanks. It's a bit of a pain to use. I hope you can come up with a fix sometime.

I've noticed this as well. To be clear, I'd expect the right hand pane to scroll if I was dragging an item up and down the right hand side of the page -- and similarly I'd expect the left hand pane to scroll if I was dragging an item up and down over that pane.
But currently if I drag an item from the right pane to the left pane, then try to scroll the left pane by dragging the item to the bottom of the left pane...the left pane never moves...but the right pane begins to scroll!
Hope that's helpful...I'm possibly repeating what was said before, but you have it in my words now...and it would be useful to have fixed.
Thx!

What about adding (Trash and Archive icons somewhere at the top as well as in the (lower) right pane?
