dragover event cancelling

[scriby]

I have a really strange setup and the built-in scrolling in Sortable doesn't work for me (it's a case far outside of what you'd want to support).

I was going to implement my own scroll handler, sort of similar to the built-in one, but noticed that the dragover event is getting cancelled: https://github.com/RubaXa/Sortable/blob/26f148ce4456fd21e5c149c1c5d637ebc116034f/Sortable.js#L461

I am wondering if that has to get cancelled there. And if so, would you consider exposing an event or something in Sortable I could hook into as an alternative.

Thanks,

Chris

Did you have a chance to take a look at this?

I do not understand what you want from me? Sortable fully captures drag-events and processes them.
If you have a problem with it, create an example on jsbin.com

The dragover event handler on the document never gets called because Sortable is not allowing the event to bubble. I need to implement my own scroll handler, so I need to be able to catch that event.

If I comment out the code in Sortable that I highlighted in my first comment on this issue, then I am able to handle the event directly. However, I don't know if there is a reason the event is prevented from bubbling. If so, I was hoping Sortable could expose another event to make it possible to write a custom scroll handler.

Thanks,

Alas, if I remove stopPropagation, then will break backward compatibility: #166 (comment)

But possible to add options:

eventBubbles: {
   dragover: boolean,
   drop: boolean
}

That would be great!

Try issue-210 branch
Default options:

• dropBubble: false
• dragoverBubble: false

I tested it out and it does what I need. Thanks!

[RubaXa]

Good.

Do you have any plans for releasing this change?

[RubaXa]

Yes, changes already in the dev-branch.
