[Bug 1738307] Re: Can not move icons in dash

[jimav]

Now this is strange.  I used Settings->Dock to fiddle with the doc,
changing it's size and moving it to the bottom and back to the left side
(no net change).   Lo and behold, miving the icons now works!

So maybe this is a one-time glitch.  I upgraded, so there is Unity cruft
in my environment.

-> If anyone else observes the problem, please click the "affects me"
button at top left.  Let's see if I'm the only one.

For now, setting Status to Invalid.


P.S. I do live in California but have not been smoking anything
anything.

Title:
  Can not move icons in dash

Status in dash package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The icons in the new 17.10 dash side-bar can not be re-arranged.  You
  can left-click and drag them sideways and then vertically to a new
  position, but when you un-click the icon snaps back to it's original
  position.

  In Ubuntu 11.10 this apparently worked in gnome-shell: There are
  instructions and a short video animation here:

    https://askubuntu.com/questions/87629/how-to-drag-and-move-icons-in-
  the-gnome-shell-favourites-bar

  That animation shows the other icons moving out of the way so that the
  one being dragged has a place to land.  But in Ubuntu 17.10 the other
  icons don't move at all.   Even dragging to empty space below all
  existing icons does not work (the dragged icon still snaps back).
