improve moving block(s) to empty container

Hi,
while building a new site, we sometimes need to rearrange our container order. So we create a new container and drop some blocks into it using the blue line.

But this proves to be quite difficult sometimes, because these lines are rather small horizontally. And you drop your blocks in the wrong container from time to time, if 2 containers are nearby.

Would it make sense to not only show the line of a container, but also its border to clearify which container is getting focused? This could be a customizable feature of course.

Thanks and cheers.

Hi there,

i completely agree - the issue is with the Core WP Editor - its just not very good at drag and drop. There are several GitHub issues open for it ... seems this is the current method they are look at:

It minimizes the block to just a small handle when being dragged so its a lot easier to position it where you want it.

Thank you, David

You're welcome
