Description Eric Moffatt CLA 2011-04-14 10:36:10 EDT
We have yet to implement the ability to drag a complete stack (rather than a part) in the presentation.

The first pass for this will allow dragging a stack but only to locate the stack itself in a different part of the presentation.

While it's possible to also allow dragging a stack to 'merge' it with the parts in some other stack this is of less use and introduces a possibly confusing scenario:

If I have a stack with "A", "B" and "C" in it but only "A" and "B" are currently visible then the result of the merge should be to only move "A" and "B" into the merged stack, leaving "C" in the original stack.

See bug 341009 for an issue that becomes much more apparent now; once you get something into the shared area it's almost impossible to get it back out...

Committed in >20110414. Applied the patch.

I'll mark this as FIXED. Should we decide that we must have the 'merge' behavior we should open a new defect...
