      With editing turned on, attempt to drag/drop blocks to rearrange them on various types of pages:

      • Course pages
      • Mod pages
      • Admin pages
      • My Home page

      Make sure to reload the page after dragging blocks around, to ensure that the change has "stuck".

    Description

      At the moment blocks drag-drop is working on course pages only. There is already infrastructure to make it work everywhere (blocks drag-drop js module initialiser can be moved to blocks output functions), but it requires some polishing.

      The inconsistency is awkward, as (assuming JS/AJAX is enabled) some pages will have the move icon on blocks, whereas others use drag & drop - with no obvious (to the user) reason why.
