Problem/Motivation

Is is possible to use contextual links to drag and drop Layout Blocks. Note that they still function fine as links when they're clicked - they just shouldn't perform double duty as drag/drop anchors.

The desired behavior is:

  1. If you click and drag anywhere in a Layout Block that is not part of contextual links, you should be able to drag the block to a new position.
  2. If you click and drag on the pencil icon that opens contextual links, you should notbe able to drag the block to a new position.
  3. If you click and drag on a contextual link (as made visible by clicking the pencil icon), you should notbe able to drag the block to a new position.
  4. This issue exists because #3 is not currently happening.

    Worth mentioning that although this should be addressed, it should be prioritized with these points in mind:

    1. This is not something a user would likely encounter with typical use. The contextual links must first be made visible, then the link itself must be dragged instead of clicked.
    2. The consequences of this are pretty benign and may not even be perceived as broken were a user to encounter it.
