Can't drag Playlist items

[crusher11 1212]

There doesn't appear to be any way to drag Playlist items to rearrange them on the mobile app.

Screenshot? Looks fine to me, there's a 3 dot menu and a grab handle to drag.

The two horizontal lines? Sure looks like a grab handle, but pressing it doesn't do anything.

Works just fine in the latest version 3.5.36. You're going to have to provide more details.

[crusher11 1212]

That's the version I'm on, and it's not working. I don't know what other details I could possibly provide here.

[Lessaj 512]

A video maybe.

Of what? Nothing happening?

Well it would help us visualize what you are seeing and what is happening.

What I'm seeing is my playlist. I press the grab handles. I drag. The list scrolls, as it would do if I was pressing and dragging somewhere on the screen other than the grab handles. Basically, the grab handles don't seem to do anything.

Works fine for me, so a video would be helpful.

The video will simply show the playlist scrolling, so I'm not sure what you think that will achieve.

I see the same on 3.5.36.

And to cut through the unnecessary back-and-forth:

Thank you for your helpful video. Looks like you're long pressing for too long, I did notice that the "time to grab" is a bit short.

[GrimReaper 5014]

You are absolutely correct - and that makes no sense whatsoever, why would there be a time-limit on grab time if you are deliberately pressing exactly there, on that exact position with the clear intention to drag (and not inadvertently) - and have a visual clue you've actually grabbed it, slight enlargement, as in "you've got it"? But at that time it's already too late, it needs to be grabbed and moved practically instantly, within 0.3-0.5 secs else zip. Literal exercise in dexterity. 

Thank you, it never even crossed my mind to move it before being told visually that I have grabbed it - quite the opposite, if anything that grab-time should be extended if not already infinite.

Well yes, if I had any idea how to do the thing that indicates where my finger is and what it's doing that could have provided a useful video, as this is, but I don't, so all you would have seen is the scrolling.

WTF? Who designed this app? That's an insane design choice.

Right? It should be the other way around. If I go to scroll but accidentally touch the grab handle, it should just scroll. If I make a whole big deal about how I'm pressing down on the grab handle, it should grab the grab handle. It's completely backwards.
