dragged tracks can only be dropped onto small area of decks

[Be]

The only way to drag and drop a track into a deck is to drop it onto either waveform area. It takes some careful mouse movements to move the cursor to these relatively small areas. It would be nice if everywhere on the deck controls was a drop target.

[jus (jus)]

Drag and drop is enabled for waveforms, spinning vinyl images, and the text row in the deck header.
Works reliable here with latest master on OSX.

Whats your skin, and your operating system?

It does work for the vinyl spinnies, but not for the text rows. I am using LateNight on GNU/Linux (Fedora 21) with git master.

Dragging to the waveforms work?

[Be (be.ing)]

Yes, the waveforms and vinyl spinnies are drop targets.

Cant reproduce with latest master r5308 on OSX, tested with all skins.
Waveforms, waveform overview, spinnies, and the full width of artist and title fields in the four deck are accepted for dnd.

Please test again using another skin to narrow down potential issues.

[Be (be.ing)]

I tested other skins. The issue is only with LateNight. I can drop onto the track name and artist text, but not the area to the right of them.

Also reproduced with 1.11 on Windows 7 with all skins.

[jus (jus)]

Does the dnd area of the text fields in the Latenight skin depends on the length of the track/artist text?
Does it make any difference if you change the layout ( display 4 decks/ hide mixer etc..)

Please post a screen-shoot and mark the area you can`t drop into.
