The drag and drop behavior is sometimes inconsistent. I made a video to demonstrate what I mean. ---

Okay, so the bug is that you sometimes can’t drag it into the right position in the Node tree? ---

Yes, an element doesn’t accept elements that are being moved. However, it does accept new elements. ---

This is really annoying at work. I had another case where I couldn’t move an entire tree. I wanted to “insert” a container. It doesn’t really work with the pages either. ---

@Ulrich @Pegasus - We tried to re-create the issue with no-luck, the node tree seems to be working here as expected. Do either of you have a project we can take a look at? The quicker we can reproduce the issue, the quicker we can get this fixed 👍 ---

ah-ha! We’ve solved the mystery and will get this issue fixed in a future build (hopefully very soon). Here’s a video explaining the issue and the workarounds! ---

Forgot to mention that this was fixed in **build 1.0.8**. However, we’ve just released [Elements 1.0.9 (23745 )](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/elements-1-0-9-23745/49097), which includes even more fixes!
