Steps to reproduce:

A Microsoft coder has stated that the designer code for both Logic Apps and Power Automate (PA) designer V2 has not changed for a very long time (months/years).

Logic Apps Cannot Move Actions Steps:

1. Build Logic App with actions
2. Ensure that there are parallel tasks
3. Attempt to move an action

If you need to see this in action and do not have an account to attempt this with a consumption licence, you can see how it should work by making a Power Automate (PA) flow using the free licence and free actions, then drag the actions around the screen and change the logic.

This does not work in either of the available 'designers' in Logic Apps:

• Main designer / default (PA equivalent = V2)
• Preview designer (PA equivalent = V3)
  If you wish to change designers in PA you can save your flow then change the URL query to ?v3=false to get to the V2 designer.

Power Automate Cannot Auto-populate Expressions Steps:

1. Log in to free account
2. Enable experimental features:
   1. Tap cog in the top right
   2. Tap 'View all Power Automate Settings'
   3. Switch the toggle for 'Experimental features' to "On"
3. Build button flow:
   1. Create a new 'Instant cloud flow' and select the 'Manually trigger a flow' ( a 'button' flow ) to continue
   2. Add a 'Compose' action, and enter "hello world" in the input field
   3. Save the flow
4. Test expression autofill:
   1. In the Compose action open the expression editor
   2. Start to type toLower()
      You will note that it does not complete the word.

Similarly, if you open a single quote' it will not automatically close it. Nor will it wrap a word with them if you highlight the word.

All these actions worked not long ago.

All these actions work fine in Edge for Business latest version.

Completely understand if this needs to be broken into two issues.

Actual results:

1. Logic Apps Action Move - Nothing happens other than a 'blocker' symbol appears as if to say the action is not allowed to be moved.
2. Power Automate Expressions - Nothing is autofilled or quote-wrapped.

Expected results:

1. Logic Apps Action Move - The action should move where it is dragged and dropped.
2. Power Automate Expressions - An expression should offer to autocomplete, and quotes should either autocomplete or wrap selected text.

Issue Links

These are the main links which I think may assist you with more information:

• Webcompat - https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/133233
• Microsoft Logic Apps UX - https://github.com/Azure/LogicAppsUX/issues/4154

Confirmation of statements

This is where Microsoft confirmed that their 'old' designer code has not been updated in about a year and a half:

This is the same Microsoft coder indicating that there may be an issue in how Mozilla is handling DND (Drag n' Drop) from recent updates:

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Editor' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Eliot Cole: Thank you for the report, but we need to treat only one issue in a bug. Could you file a new bug for one of them and edit comment in this bug to delete things for the other bug to avoid confusion? (Even we cannot edit comments of other people.)

I have edited the title, I cannot change the description wording ... hence my second / initial comment

Eliot Cole: per https://github.com/Azure/LogicAppsUX/issues/4154#issuecomment-1948482593 and https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/133233#issuecomment-1948467853, it looks like it works now?

Hi, @Edgar, yes, this is now working.

I would assume whatever the latest changes to Nightly are have resolved this.

Have set resolution.
