Cannot move app icon of a folder

  • /e/ version: 0.18
  • Device model(s): FP3+
  • Device rooted: yes

Summary

I cannot rearrange app icons within folders – including moving them out of the folder (see video). Edit: The latter only happens, when the page (where the folder is located) is full.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

  1. Long-tap an app icon in a folder in order to make them wiggle

  2. Tap and hold to grab it

  3. Move it – towards a different position or outside the folder

  4. Release your finger

What is the current behavior?

Nothing. The app icon stays where it was.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The app icon should move (and other icons should also react by moving in order to make room).

Solutions

Workaround

At least for moving them out, when the page is full, there is a workaround: you can move the folder to a page that isn't full (or make room on the current page). After that you can move apps out of the folder.

For rearranging apps I still don't know of a workaround.

Possible fixes

Sorry, no,I don't have any idea.
