Publisher 2, 2.2 beta: Layer drop zones do not works

[anto]

Either it is a mistake in the documentation or these zones do not work.

I just tried it again. It works, but the help doesn't clearly indicate where to click with the mouse to dragging layer.

I've moved this thread to the feedback section as the feature works fine it just seems the help could use some extra info.

Hi @anto,
This is working correctly. The explanation in the help isn't that clear (at least for me) but it's doing what it should.
Taking your first image as an example: dragging the pink square as you image shows will place the pink square above its parent layer (as seen in image two), whereas draggin it over the botton part of the parent bar unclips it placing it on the bottom of the parent.

If you place another object clipped inside of one of the already clipped objects, you will have a grand parent bar (a second bar) which you can also use to drag the double clipped object to above the first parent object for example.

[EDIT Seems Callum was quicker]

And I'm even faster). I tried again, clicking on different layer's icons, and it worked. It's just that the help doesn't tell you where to click to drag a layer.

The beginning of the arrow clearly says where the layer should be dragged from - i.e. from the field for indicating the type of layer (although dragging from the body of the layer also works, just not from the thumbnail).

thumbnail works for me (macOS)

Why on earth are there no hints available in the interface - status line or somewhere else. I don't think people will ever find this feature. That is just how people just software now, not like in the 90's.

Another unnecessary difference in functionality between OSes.
