Bug Description
If I click on the app drawer and try to drag it, it will often refuse to do anything.
The issue it seems is a kind of hysteresis: If your drag is even slightly diagonal then it will be rejected and do nothing. The app drawer apparently only supports perfect vertical or horizontal drags, but this is not user friendly since humans will rarely drag perfectly vertically or horizontally.

Why are you dragging the drawer with mouse? You can invoke it with pressing against the left edge, dismiss it with clicking outside it or on any item inside, or Esc. Scroll with scroll wheel.
Dragging gestures are reserved to touch, and those, I believe, work fine?
