Drag&Drop to reorder in playlist missing drop target indicator

[Ferran Pujol]

When I drag&drop a track in a playlist in order to reorder it, there's no clear indicator of where the track will end up. A line where the track will end up should be enough.

After digging through the Qt docs, I see that this issue has to do with QTableView's "Drop Indicator". In the file src/widget/wtracktableview.cpp, we find:

      setDropIndicatorShown(true);

If I understand the docs correctly, this function call should set the value of the boolean "showDropIndicator" to true and thus we should see a line where the track will end up. However, as the bug points out this isn't the case. Anyone know what's going on?

Hi Ferran,

I've read through the answers on stack overflow carefully, but I don't quite see how to incorporate those solutions into the mixxx codebase. Any tips? I'm new to this project but very excited to try and get some bugs fixxxed!

Don't really know the answer, just googling :)
