Description Tim Pew 2004-12-09 23:30:01 UTC
DETAILED DESCRIPTION: On the modeler palette select any application and drag it
over an identity vault. The mouse cursor should indicate that the application
can't be dropped there. Similarly, drag a driver set to somewhere outside an
identity vault and the mouse cursor should indicate that the driver set can't be
dropped there. We do this now when moving an object in the modeller, but not
when originally adding it.

Comment 2 Lee Lowry 2004-12-22 16:26:49 UTC
I've spent a tremendous amount of time trying to figure out 
why Eclipse behaves this way, to no avail, and I've sent a 
question to the message group.

In the meantime, I've put educational prompts in at drop time 
so at least the situation is handled (and in someways, it's 
actually better).
Comment 3 Lee Lowry 2005-03-11 16:04:19 UTC
I believe the current behavior and educations prompts are good enough for FCS;
meanwhile, hopefully I'll get more insight from the Eclipse people on how to
resolve this.
Comment 4 Bill Street 2005-03-11 23:25:27 UTC
Marking as resolve Later.  Beyond FCS
Comment 5 Bill Street 2005-08-02 17:47:59 UTC
Reopening bugs for determination of fixing bug or adding enhancements for
Milestone 1.1.

Large effort, small gain.
Comment 7 Lee Lowry 2005-08-31 00:10:40 UTC
Open so we can close.
Comment 8 Lee Lowry 2005-08-31 00:11:27 UTC
I believe the education prompts are more valuable than the cursor in this case.
 Sometimes the cursor is sufficient, but this the perfect opportunity to explain
to the user why it can't drop and then they get to learn the mindset of DirXML
systems.

Based on comments above, changing fixed in milestone from "Future" to 1.1M1
