Long-press on launcher doesn't work when quicklist is on screen

[Michał Sawicz]

Steps to reproduce:
1. long-press on a launcher icon
2. release
3. long-press again

Expected:
3. you can drag the long-pressed item

Current:
3. quicklist closes

-------------------------------------------
Desired solution:

As described in bug report Expected behaviour. User should be able to enable item reordering even if quick list menu is open. Note that quick list should disappear when item is moved like the case is with the first long press.

This is part of customising the launcher feature that we would like to explore. Ideally, users should be able to add and remove icons in the launcher to use for quick/repeated access.

What Ruby said here before is indeed a future consideration and I like the idea.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

If it's a "future consideration", it probably isn't described in a spec yet ... and even if it is, the spec hasn't been linked here.

  * Allow dragging launcher items with the quicklist open (LP: #1250861)
  * Create ratings on demand instead of all at the same time (LP:
    #1519898, #1492214)
  * LVWPH: Process correctly section changes (LP: #1519893)
  * Make sure that unfavoriting a scope gives us the next one
  * Move images only used in tests to tests folder

  [ Andrea Cimitan ]
  * Add shadows to ubuntu store icon

  [ Daniel d'Andrada ]
  * MirSurfaceItem got a new property: fillMode (LP: #1497083)
  * Session can have multiple surfaces now
  * plugins/Cursor: Do not force loading a specific cursor size (LP:
    #1517878)

  [ Lukáš Tinkl ]
  * Indicators convergence: use the "phone" profile everywhere (LP:
    #1520492)

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * Let qtmir know which apps are exempt from the lifecycle management.
    This way, it can manage its own wakelocks better (and stop
    preventing the system from deep sleeping).

  [ Michael Zanetti ]
  * Use proper z ordering instead of app index for occlusion detection
  * add some debug prints to the uinput backend
  * drop the ignoredMice hack again (LP: #1521580)

  [ Michał Sawicz ]
  * Let qtmir know which apps are exempt from the lifecycle management.
    This way, it can manage its own wakelocks better (and stop
    preventing the system from deep sleeping).
  * Update .pot file in debian/clean when in train
