Drag and Drop from Compendium doesn't work

March 08 (4 years ago)

Edited March 08 (4 years ago)

I frequently find that I cannot drag and drop from the compendium onto my map.

If I reload the page in my browser, I can drag and drop again.  After some time, I'll go back and can't drag and drop again...

Any ideas?  Is this a known bug?   
I haven't pinned down what I do to cause it to happen yet, although I've been trying.... I just eventually lose the ability to drag and drop.

 I have a few API scripts running but the problem seems to remain even with them turned off...

I'm having it reliably occur after I've double-clicked on a token to look at its character sheet.


1) can drag and drop compendium monsters onto the playing area

2) double-click a token's character sheet (or sometimes the character sheet pops up automatically) 

3) can no longer drag and drop compendium monsters onto the playing area...

If you have the setting checked to automatically pop sheets out in a new window, then that is not new behavior as far as I know.

Just because, we have to ask the most common cause: You are dragging from the name of the object and not from its handle?

Yep. (Don't worry, I'm not insulted.)


Just confirmed the same issue on another laptop....   (1) can drag things from compendium (2) double click a token to see its sheet  (3) can't drag any things from compendium


Just checked to confirm it isn't source-dependent  (ie. SRD, Tome of Beasts, etc...)

From the Wiki you cite it seems to imply that the issue should only come up if there is an open window.  I could not do "drag and drop" even if all the popped out windows were closed...  However, I have turned off that setting and the issue doesn't seem to arise.  

 Before:

(1) Drag a monster from compendium to map

(2) Shift double click to see monster stats/sheet

(3) Close popout window

(4) I can no longer drag and drop


Turn off that setting, now:

(1) Drag a monster from compendium to map

(2) Shift double click to see monster stats/sheet

(3) Close popout window

(4) I can still drag and drop


Seems to me there may be still a bug in there (shouldn't drag & drop work if all popout windows are closed?), but at least I have a work-around.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there, I can't replicate the issue from those steps.
