MOODLE_39_STABLE
Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Login as admin
- Enable the experimental setting $CFG->dndallowtextandlinks
- Login as teacher
- Go to a course
- Enable editing mode
- Add an arbitrary activity to the course
- Go to the course main page again
- Open the Edit menu of the created activity
- Put the mouse button down on the "Edit settings" menu item, move the mouse pointer at least 1 pixel, release the mouse button - just like you would click the icon and would move the mouse minimally during the blick by accident
Expected behaviour:
- Although the menu item was, technically, dragged and not clicked, the edit page is shown
Actual behaviour:
- As the menu item was technically dragged and as there is the feature to drag links to the course page, a modal window asking "What do you want to call this link?" will appear
- The user, most probably not knowing this DnD feature, is confused.
Possible solutions:
- Trigger the DnD feature only after the mouse pointer has been dragged for more than a reasonable threshold (say 30 pixels)
- Trigger the DnD feature only if the source of the drag operation came from outside the Moodle browser tab, i.e. from a different tab or another application or the operating system environment
