Unable to Drag and Drop Labels or anything else on Specific Screen

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I duplicated my home screen, so I can keep the same formatting.

I am findind on this screen, that once I get to a certain point on the screen, I lose the ability to drag and drop items.

 

For example, the highlighted icon, when I drag it, it stops there.  I can't drag it any further down.  I can move it by resizing and continually moving it down that way, but I cant drag and drop.

If I move it down by constantly resizing it, once I get it to the position I need it, I no longer can click on it.

I can click on it on the left menu, but I can't directly click on it via the actual item.

Same with the text label I created.  I can't move it down any further.  Both stop at the exact same point.

Ther eis nothing there, so I can't figure out why this is happening.

    Can you provide a screen shot of the control tree on the left of the designer?  Select your icon in the screen and then take a screenshot of the tree on the left.

    This seems to be my limit with ANYTHING on this screen.

    Is it by some chance in a gallery or something that resized itself when you duplicated the homescreen? I would one at a time click in the left menu every control on the new screen and see what the outlined selection area is on the right. Quite often when duplicating screens a lot of x,y height and width values get scrambled. No Idea why it happens

    Screenshot.

    I had a form here, and I found this issue when I was trying to rearrange the form.  It would not move.

    It is possible then that there is an issue with the screen and when you duplicated, it just duplicated the issue.

    I would suggest creating a new blank screen and then go to your original screen and select all controls, then copy, then go to your new screen and paste.

    See if the issue follows.

    Yep, sometimes screens (and other controls) get screwed up and there is nothing to do but to blow them away and put on a new one.
