Reworked Grid Behavior

In release 8.0, we reworked the drag-and-drop behavior for widgets. Before, other widgets did right jump out of the way, making moving a widget difficult and unpredictable.

The most significant changes are:

• Movement delay: Widgets only move after 400ms instead of immediately. This makes the movements more natural.

• Smoother movements due to reduced speed

• Reset to top position: when dropped, the widget will be vertically moved to its highest position possible without moving other widgets. Previously, this behavior could be activated per dashboard (Vertical Alignment checkbox in Dashboard settings). With this version, it is the default behavior for all Home dashboards.

• Preview position displayed with shadow while dragging.

These improvements make the placement of widgets in the dashboard feel smoother, more fluid, and more predictable. Users always have full control over the position and layout. When you move a widget and put it back, the layout stays the same. All widgets go back to where they were. Overall, these changes make it more convenient to customize the layout of the Home dashboard.
