Step to reproduce
Enter Edit Mode
Drag the last icon to the bottom of the screen (as per creating a new divider).
Drag it 1/4 of inch upper.

Actual result
The screen scrolls up until the last divider reaches the bottom of the screen.

Expected result
This case has not been documented in UX specs. I think that the screen should not scrolls up until the icon reaches the top of the screen. What's your opinion?

Hi Johan,

I agree the screen should not scroll indefinitely when in Edit Mode.  I thought I had filed a bug for this, but I can't seem to find it now.

Kevin, can you take a look at this?  When dragging an icon past the bottom divider, there is a limit to how far the icons can scroll up.  That limit is show in the following spec screenshot (2nd row, 3rd column):

Thanks.

I am pretty sure we solved the infinite scrolling problem - I think this is about the fact that we collapse the existing space when we drag/drop an icon. This is fairly standard behavior, but nothing we can't change.

A video of this might make it more clear.

Just taking these bugs so no one else does as I'm doing a pretty big refactoring of how this works in bug 1017360.

This is actually solved by keeping the divider there until the user drops the icon (bug 1014982). The work for this was done in bug 1017360 .
