Description Remy Suen CLA 2011-06-07 11:38:27 EDT
Open two editors and spawn two stacks so that they are side-by-side horizontally. Now try to drag a view "above" them so that you'll have three stacks in the shared area, one on top (the view) and the two editor stacks stacked horizontally underneath it. This is not possible. The inverse is also true, you can't have two stacks stacked vertically and then make one left or right of both of them.

This is one of those cases where you have to do two drags; put the view on top of one of the editors and then drag the other editor beside the one it was originally beside.

I realize that you could do this in 3.7 but the 'edge' drop area code is currently being used to support the 'outer dock' behavior...

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
