STR: (Win7, Nightly 43.0a1 (2015-08-15)) 1. Open page data:text/html,<div><br> 2. Drag-and-drop <br> element to make it 1st child of <body> 3. Try to drag-and-drop <br> element back into <div> element Result: Currently there's no way to do that Expectations: There should be the way to do that. Note: Currently I have to copy <br>'s outerHTML, then remove <br> element, then edit <div> as HTML, paste <br>'s outerHTML, press Ctrl+Enter. (And btw I'm going to get black closing tag </div> due to bug 1189464)"

Not only empty elements but also elements only containing text are affected by this. I'd suggest the UI to be a vertical bar right after the opening tag or before the closing tag as indication for where the dragged element will be inserted when dropped. Sebastian
Summary: Drag and drop mode in Inspector doesn't allow to move an element into another element with empty innerHTML (and without pseudoelements) → Allow to drag element into empty element or element with only text content (and without pseudo-elements)
