UI Problem in Editor When Moving Files
Context: On a laptop, Windows, using a trackpad pointing device.
Problem: When reordering an epub's files under the [text] segment -- such as moving the copyright page from the end to right after the title page, and similar for tables of contents -- for books with lots of individual HTML files under [text], it's quite difficult to smoothly move say, the 38th file in the [text] segment so it's the 3d file (putting the copyright page and the table of contents at the end, like some publishers do, is... annoyingly nonstandard behavior for a BOOK). Frequently, while trying to move that file all the way up with a drag-and-drop, the drag-and-drop goes PAST the first page if the first page isn't visible when starting the drag-and-drop, which collapses the [text] segment and aborts the move.
(My unpredictable hand/finger-shaking of early-stage Parkinson's doesn't help, but this has been a problem since Calibre 3.)
Suggested/possible solutions for a future enhancement, any of which would be a big help:
(a) Add "move to top" (and corresponding "move to bottom") options
(b) Enable use of arrow up/down keys to move
(c) Disable the "collapse this segment" behavior when a carried file moves on top of the segment label
