No moving of long blocks

[Kristina Hoeppner]

from Jacqui at https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=7600

We are using Mahara 15.10, when placing a new block on a page that extends beyond one screen, the page auto-scrolls to allow correct placement of a new block. However, when taking an existing block, from either the top or the bottom of a long page, and attempting to relocate it to an off screen area, the page does not automatically scroll and the block can only be placed on the visible portion of the screen.

There are workarounds
1. For those with scroll wheels, the mouse button needs to be held whilst the while is rotated to scroll the screen
2. whilst holding the mouse button to keep the block selected the user can utilise the keyboard arrows to scroll the screen

but is this something that could be looked at in a future release?
