In different cases I have problem with moving events on timeline.
As you may see when I drag event on header (on screenshot is displaced, but you can trust me I drag on header) one event move but another two events not moved.
Can someone confirm this bug?
I believe we need more information. What happens with your grouping? If you drag the header the clip is not selected (yellow borders).
Never seen this. As MagixPascal mentioned it's strange your events are not selected when you grab them on the header. It seems your mouse-pointer is misaligned. A Windows issue? Do you use any scaling in Windows?
No my mouse-pointer is not missaligned. Video is not exactly, I don't know why windows screen recorder do this. You can trust me I click on header. (I can record this behavior on mobile phone)
Yes, when I click on header clip not slected (yellow borders).
But when I click on thumbnail of event clip is slected (yellow borders).
but still event can't move when I click on header. Only can move when I clikc on thumbnail or anywhere on event
Interesting behavior with moving events (drag on header) when I zoom in or zoom out timeline:
This is explain what is problem
@VEGASPascal
@Marco.
Events can not be moved when the event length text is clicked. Even if this text has just been switched off, this area is inactive. This inactive area can cover the take information.
But such a "problem" has never been in version 16
Yes, in VP16 the event length could not be displayed in the header. I think if you let them turn off until there's a bug fix, it works too.
Good finding. I couldn't repro this issue because I have the Event Length Display disabled.
@matthias-krutz you are right! When I disable new function show "Event length" then moving event working correctly.
I rename this post.
@VEGASPascal I hope that in next version this small bug resolve.
We will look into this issue. Right now the mouse click is being handled within the Event Length field so the user can double click on it and manually edit it. Obviously this is causing issues, so we will see if we can work around this.
In version 17.0.321 is this problem not solved.
This is sad.
They had over 40 bugs they addressed in this update, they probably ran out of time to get more in and didn't want to delay people suffering from the more serious bugs from getting work done.
I know and I accept, but this is still sad
The problem is at least partially solved. There is no phantom "event length" anymore. To make better use of the limited space, I often turn off the event headers.
Would this work for you?
Its not the same, just reminds me of the track header name area. If you select that area you can drag and reposition the tracks up or down, obviously not if its in edit mode.
The implementation as with the track headers will be more difficult at the events. But it would be the right one.

For me, in VP17 build 321, a phantom "event length" area still exists on events that are too short to display event length. Events cannot be moved by dragging this area.
Would this work for you?
No this not work for me.
As I wrote, I use minimised track height (on projects with more tracks) and in this case I can't move event when I have "Show Event Length" ON.
😢😢😢

@matthias-krutz no, phantom "event length" is not solved in 17.0.321
I have to correct myself, nothing has changed in the behavior yet.
😢😢😢
I'll be honest with you, this bug was overshadowed by other issues and fell off our radar screen.
I have spent some time the last couple days and created a solution for this which should fix this annoyance. My apologies.
