Thanks for reviewing! I think it's a fairly uncommon / difficult thing to reproduce due to it being a subtle race condition that's usually resolved within about |

What?
Fixes: #52919
Fix issue with the List View's drag-and-drop where sometimes blocks would suddenly be sent down to the bottom of the document when clicking around quickly.
Why?
From some logging out of values, what appears to be happening on
trunkis that if you click on a selected block very rapidly with a little bit of movement, sometimes anonDragEndcallback is fired (which setstargettonull), before theonDropcallback is fired.What's expected to happen is that dragging on a selected block will effectively result in no moving of blocks occurring because the target is the same as what's being dragged over. However, the code that determines the desired target is throttled to
200ms, so if you go to drag a block and within that200msperform another drag, it's possible to fire that second drag after the firstdragEndevent has cleared out thetargetand before theonDragOvergives us a new target.I'm not 100% that this is exactly what's happening, but what I've observed is that if you're clicking around very quickly on a selected block, it seems that you can accidentally drag a block and rapidly start another drag in the same position, and due to this issue of
targetbeing set tonullfor a short time, the block winds up being sent all the way to the bottom.To resolve this issue (which seems to be something of a race condition to me), we can check that the target is truthy before allowing a drop to occur.
How?
Within the
onDropcallback, check that thetargetis truthy before allowingonBlockDropto be called. This should be pretty safe as the list view drag and drop behaviour expects that there is a target set for any kind of drop to occur.Testing Instructions
