I meant after the drop. The first time I dropped I thought that nothing had happened, because when I dropped it the action went back to where it started, and then nothing else happened for some time, probably less than a second but long enough to make me think the drag had failed. I really don't know what is possible to do immediately (which is when it needs to happen) so I'm afraid I don't have any decent suggestions- maybe just ensure that the action doesn't return to the original location, but immediately vanishes? maybe the 'thinking' spinning icon should come up? >> * that said, I haven't used drag/drop since I did my initial cleanup >> of tasks, so I wouldn't focus your time/energy too much on drag/drop. >> :) > > Actually DnD is my favorite way to add dependencies, so I am interested to > hear any improvement suggestions. Hrm, interesting. I wonder why the difference.

Ah, this is the patches from yesterday? I have not upgraded, am using code from 48-72 hours ago. Apologies. [upgraded now] So, I guess I assumed that the X deleted the dependency, rather than making it return; now that I understand the behavior it makes more sense. Maybe using language other than 'remove'? (But admittedly I don't have a good suggestion on that right now.) A couple notes on it: * before the patch, there was some explanatory text when you hovered over the X. This seems to be broken now? * when I hit the X on the main page, the successor action is removed from the preceding action but doesn't show up again until a refresh, so it looks like it was deleted. This works as expected in the project view- weird.
