The move functionality is horrible
Permalink
Hi... I hate to be negative about c5 which I love.
Just been creating my first Site in 5.7. Is anybody else finding the moving of blocks a painful experience? The move feature was never perfect on 5.6 but this is un-usable and frustrating! In 5.6 if I had trouble moving something I would copy to clipboard and place where I needed it.
Now instead of 2 clicks (copy to clipboard + paste from clipboard) you have to click the add button select the clipboard and then to fight the drag and drop to put it where you want it if you can get it there. This ads and 2 further steps than you had. Reducing usability. Feels like you've removed some of the simple functionality to just include a shiney new feature (drag and drop)
I hope this improves as the bugs are ironed out as this could weaken my love for this awesome CMS.
My dragging rant over, Matt

Adding from the area menu is coming back.
You should be able to copy the block to the clipboard, then add it to an area through the area menu.
Bring back "Add Block" to Area Menu
"Clicking this should open the add block panel. Clicking a block, a scrapbook or a stack from within this panel should start the add operation to the area, just like in 5.6 and earlier."

Yeah found it was the same in both custom theme and elemental. I worked it round that way but that required a lot more steps then in 5.6 and fiddly mouse work.
Seems like the UX has been worsened not improved in the basic areas that makes c5 so easy to use and unique.
Awesome thanks for the link... glad to see its coming back.
I'm sure the uX will improve the more we highlight these features.

If you feel strongly about something, you need to create a Github issue for it.
The core team primarily relies on Github issues to keep track of bugs, feature requests, feature enhancements, ideas, etc.

Is this on the Elemental theme or on custom themes you are building?
