Blackboard Known Issue: Unable to Drag and Drop Content Area Items


There is a known issue in UHCL’s version of Blackboard across multiple browsers that prevents dragging and dropping of content area items. When trying to move a content item by clicking and dragging it down the page (drag-and-drop feature), the items infinitely scroll down the browser window well below the end of the content items extending the page.

Please don’t hesitate to contact your designated instructional designer or the Support Center if you have further issues with the Reorder Content tool.
