Public bug reported:
Drag-and-drop to a folder listed in bookmarks causes the list of
bookmarks to move down as the "Add Bookmark" item inserts itself above
the bookmark list when the dragging enters the bookmarks list. If
approached from the right side and expecting to be able to drop
immediately in a bookmarked folder, this will move the dragged thing to
the wrong folder (the one just above in the list) or will add it to the
list (if the target was the first bookmark). At best, it makes the user
be surprised and slowed down to adjust position, or it makes the user
getting used to having to aim 1 item lower in the list.
Possible improvements (not all equally good) :
(a) Make "Add Bookmark" appear as soon as an item goes into drag mode.
(b) Make "Add Bookmark" always present
(c) Add a "Bookmarks" heading to the bookmarks list and have a "+"
button next to it, that can either be dragged to, or pressed to open a
folder selection dialogue.
(d) Make "Add Bookmark" appear below the list (but if there is a
scrollbar for the left pane, what should happen to it ?)
(e) Make "Add Bookmark" appear outside the list (as a floating element
nearby, or inside the black toolbar at the top of the window).
(f) any other ideas ?
Note : I am using Ubuntu 16.04.4 and 17.10, with Unity. This is not a "bug" per
se, but it's not a support question either, which is not I didn't file it on
the Answers or AskUbuntu sites instead.
