Drag and Drop Won't Snap to Center of Drop Target
Hi Articulate Community Team!
This interaction was working properly. However, I decided to add some shadow and glow to the items being dragged and dropped. After those changes, the items will no longer snap to the center of the drop targets. If I switch to drop to 'Tile' it works except Ali's and Anton's names will not drop on top of each other (one covering the other).
Cheat sheet:
-Gianna's name should go to 'Refer Out'
-Ali's name and Anton's name should both go to 'Don't Refer Out'
Thank you in advance for any help or guidance anyone can provide.

You don't have a border on the button, but you added one on the hover state. I assume that the combination of hovering, shadow and glow as well as the dotted border line is confusing something.
Removing the dotted border seems to work. Or add a border to the normal state.
if you don't use a dotted line it seems to work with a solid line
There is a known bug with the dotted line on a drop target...once changed to solid it works fine :-)
What she said. :)
Hi Philip,
I have updated our bug report to include your file as our team continues to test this one. I'll let you know here as soon as we have any more info. Thanks for reaching out!
Thank you for your help, Tom and Wendy!
I switched it to a solid line and it works.
Ashley, thank you for adding it to the bug report.
Cheers!
Not a problem, Philip! Sorry it caused you such trouble, but I'll let you know here once we have any updates on it.
Hi @ all
I hope u don't mind me hoping into that topic, but I do have a very similar problem. It's nothing big but it troubles my perfectionistic eye that I cant make my items snap in the center of their targets. I played with some sizes and different shapes but I can't make them fit (be in the center).
I am surely missing something obvious but I am unable to see it. I would be happy if someone could help me out here ^^Thanks in advance
Hi Christiane,
It appears that the drop items are not the same size as the drop targets and the drop targets may not be lined up perfectly. Not sure if there is something else going on as well, but that might be a place to start.
Good luck.
Hi Christiane!
In addition to Philip's recommendations, I also noticed that the drop target shapes had "no fill." That's causing some buggy behavior, so instead you can use white fill with 100% transparency.
Have a look at the changes I made in your attached file, and let me know what you think!
Hi Philip,
thanks for the advice. I tried to make the items smaller cause otherwise the lines kinda thick up (but differently in every target) and that is annoying me.
Hi Alyssa,
I never thought on the *no fill* setting could cause that trouble. I like the change u made. Now it fits. I gonna play a bit with the sizes and keep the change u made. Thanks a lot ^^
Hi Alyssa, I am also experiencing this problem and have tried all suggestions mentioned in this thread. Would be happy if someone is able to help identify what's missing.
You're welcome, Christiane! I'm happy we could help you sort this one out. 😊
