Cannot drag selected text and drop it somewhere else in editor, e.g. reorder sentences.

Typora version: 0.9.31 (beta) OS version: Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.3 Description: I cannot drag selected text to another position. I wanted to reorder some sentences, but no luck. I saw "dragging shadow" but after dropping text, nothing happened. How to reproduce: Select text and drag it somewhere else. You will see "draggin shadow" but after you drop text, nothing happens.

This appears to be an overall Typora problem, not just a Typora on Linux problem. It doesn't work on MacOS .9.9.13.6, either.

Neither on windows.

This is essential for me. I'm not sure why Typora doesn't support it because it seems like a basic text editing feature. I would use this many times a day.

I also would love to be able to use a standard drag and drop ! I understand it might not be a coder's request... But I think Typora could also be a great tool for writing.

So in 2024, Typora has started a paid system, why don't you add this feature

Exactly. The only thing that stops me from paying for Typora - the lack of this single feature disqualifies Typora from being an everyday editor for me.
