Description Dmitry Spiridenok CLA 2014-03-05 09:55:34 EST 
When several elements are selected in the Application Model Editor (Application.e4xmi editor) and dragged&dropped at another location, only 1 element is actually moved.

How to reproduce.
Create several elements application elements, for example (only relevant part is shown):
- TrimBars
    - Window Trim 
        - Toolbar 
            - ToolControl
            - ToolControl
            - ToolControl

Now select all 3 tool controls and move them one level up.

Expected result:
- TrimBars
    - Window Trim 
        - Toolbar 
        - ToolControl
        - ToolControl
        - ToolControl

Actual result:
- TrimBars
    - Window Trim 
        - Toolbar 
            - ToolControl
            - ToolControl
        - ToolControl


Please either fix multi-items drag&drop or disable multiple selection.

We added multiple selections to allow that you can extract several model elements, I think the right fix is to support multi-items DND. 

Patches are welcome.
