Drag and drop error when dragging a text selection from one table cell to another

[GaryLearnTech]

• Publisher 1.10.0, from Serif App Store
• Mac mini, M1 processor
• macOS Big Sur, 11.5.1

Same problem on Publisher 1.8.4 (Serif App Store) on Intel MacBook Pro (Catalina, macOS 10.15.7).
Same problem on Publisher 1.9.2.1035 (trial version) on Windows 10 Pro (OS build 19041.1165)

Steps To Recreate

1. Create a table.
2. Type in some text.
3. Select some of the text.
4. Drag and drop the selection to another location within the table.

Expected behaviour: the selection drops into the table cell indicated by the insertion point that follows the mouse/trackpad pointer.

Reality 1: drag horizontally left or to any higher cell (left or right) and it works as expected.

Reality 2: drag horizontally right or to any lower cell and the selection flies off unpredictably into a random cell.

The screen-recording shows both realities:

Try to guess where your selection will end up!  Minutes of fun for all the family!  😀
Points may be awarded for correct guesses…

Bonjour @GaryLearnTech.

Le même comportement avec Windows 10. Deplacement horizontal d'une cellule, ça va. De deux cellules, Publisher ajoute systmétiquement un déplacement d'une cellule vers le bas. Sinon, c'est anarchique.

The same behaviour with Windows 10. Moving one cell horizontally is fine. From two cells, Publisher systematically adds a downward movement of one cell. Otherwise, it is anarchic.

Hi both,

We are aware of this and it has already been logged with our developers.

Hi @Gabe - sorry, I had done a search but came up blank on previous reports.  Good to know you've already got this logged.

Hi @Gabe, good efficiency
