Drag and drop not working

Hello Rayz,

R> I'm playing around with IDEA build 6117, and it looks like the drag
R> and drop isn't dragging or dropping. Is there a setting for this
R> somewhere (I don't remember one)?

What are you trying to drag and where do you want to drop it?

Wow! That was quick!

I am trying to drop a piece of text around a JSP file, but it doesn't appear to be working on any of my files.

I've checked the drag and drop settings in the editor configuration, and it is definitely enabled.

Are your files checked out? Drag & Drop is disabled in read-only files.

Nope. Files are all writeable.

Just seems to be refusing to drag and drop. Odd. I have definitely had this working in previous versions.

I'm going to close restart IDEA and see if that helps.



Nope. Still seems to be broken.

This is very odd; the setting in the editor.xml files seems to be OK too ... not quite sure what is going on here.

I've the same problem

You could share it via Dropbox/Google or send to yaroslav.bedrov"at"jetbrains.com

Could you please try to temporary disable custom plugins:

Loaded custom plugins: .ignore (2.2.1), AWS Elastic Beanstalk Integration for Web Languages (0.8.7), AllProjects (1.7), Angular 2 TypeScript Live Templates (2.0.0), Auto Sync (1.2), Auto-Align (1.4), Css Alphabetical Rearranger (0.6), Erlang (0.9.958), Markdown support (2017.2.20170419), Markup to SCSS (0.2.1), Paste Images into Markdown (1.1.2), PostCSS support (172.3968.20), React CSS Modules (1.0.1), Shifter (1.7.7)

Yeah now it's working.

I will try to activate the plugins to find the problem

all Markdown plugins, Erlang and shifter,

This is the problem 

Couldn't reproduce the issue with Erlang plugin. Seems only Markdown and shifter cause the issue

I am trying to drag and drop files in the project view, but can't 

Following is my log file:

When does it happen? Could you describe steps to reproduce? See

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-231215 when dragging a package

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-89077 when working with change lists

for examples

I had the same problem.

I am refactoring a project, moving lots of files, and the drag-and-drop just stopped working.

I solved this by restarting IntelliJ, everything got reindexed, and drag-and-drop is now working again.
