Marker.setIcon should not destroy and recreate the DOM object

[DennisSchiefer]

Use Case:
Change the icon of a maker while it is being dragged.

Problem:
When you change the icon of a marker with Marker.SetIcon in the dragstart event of the marker, the DOM object of the marker is destroyed and recreated. The newly created DOM object has no memory that it was about to be dragged - so dragging does not work.

I faced with this fact some days ago... Solved it - now I don't reset icon ))))

[DennisSchiefer]

Great to hear! Do you have code to show what you did?

[cvisto]

It is very simple - I made changes in my program and now it don't need icon changing )) This way is more suitable for me because it is faster then changing source code of Leaflet

Agreed about the issue, will try to fix this.

This turned out to be much harder to do then I thought... I'd recommend using DivIcon and background image sprites for such things for now.

A simple DOM img src manipualtion worked for me:

 marker._icon.src = newImageUrl;
