#200988 — thunderbird - drag'n'drop now hides target?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi all,

A nice trivial one ... after a recent update of Thunderbird, when I drag
and drop a bunch of selected mails to a different folder, they now
obscure the target folder - so unless I'm careful to drag by the very
top edge, I can't see the target get highlighted.

Anyone else suffering this, and better, found a solution?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Using a composite manager (here "xcompmgr"), the bunch of selected emails
appears semi-transparently and thus allows me to see through.  But I must
reckon, this is not very ergonomic.

Perhaps your own desktop environment will provide some way to enable com-
positing, and ultimately allow to see through the block.

I hope this helps,
Kind Regards,

Obscured because the cursor changes to a list of the email titles? I 
disabled this by setting "nglayout.enable_drag_images" to "false" in 
Preferences / Advanced / Config Editor. This restored the previous 
behaviour in which only a simple drag cursor is displayed.

Kind regards,

That's the one - and fixed, thanks :-)
