It stopped working for me too, can't pin down the reason.

(Windows 10 desktop)

Edit: actually it works in source mode, but not in live preview

Edit 2: nvm, it doesn't work even in source mode in another note

This has started happening to me too since a few days ago for any list, even a simple one with no sublists in a new blank note.

  • Windows 10 desktop
  • Obsidian: v1.5.12
  • Outliner: v4.8.1

The error that displays in the Inspector whenever trying to drag a list item is as follows:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'left')

After lots of testing in various vaults with combinations of themes and plugins, Outliner's drag-and-drop of list items works perfectly until I add any property to the note (either as YAML frontmatter or using the Properties plugin). If I remove all properties for the note, the drag-and-drop functionality returns for that note.

@kuyper and @kazerniel can you confirm this is the same your side please?

I have since found this was already logged as a bug here: #506

A fix is discussed here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/fix-for-drag-and-drop-functionality-in-outliner-plugin/76425

Essentially, replace the calculateLeftPadding() function in main.js of the Outliner plugin.

@vaughanvandyk Thank you for your comment! After testing on a new note without frontmatter, I can confirm that drag-and-drop works before adding frontmatter, and breaks after adding it.

I tried using just the forum snippet, then combined with the Github snippet as well, but they unfortunately still don't fix that note with the long list that I had issues with earlier. It works on other shorter notes and on certain launches works in source mode on that longer list, but never in live preview mode.

Thanks for confirming, @kazerniel -- I've been testing with your example list a bit further and it works when we remove the last few sections or so. It can't be due to there being too many list items, because I have a separate test with a list of 250+ items and DnD works perfectly there. Do you perhaps have other list examples that this occurs in to see if there's a pattern?

I am not very good at reading and writing English, so I am using translation.
I apologize if it is difficult to read.

I am not a programmer, and this is my first time posting on GitHub, but I was facing a similar issue where the problem occurred when writing more than 40 lines.
I consulted with an AI and somehow managed to rewrite the following function as instructed, and it started working, so I'm sharing it.

calculateNearestDropVariant(x, y) {
    const { view, editor } = this;
    const dropVariants = this.getDropVariants();

    for (const v of dropVariants) {
        const { placeToMove } = v;
        v.left = this.leftPadding + (v.level - 1) * this.tabWidth;
        const positionAfterList = v.whereToMove === "after" || v.whereToMove === "inside";
        const line = positionAfterList
            ? placeToMove.getContentEndIncludingChildren().line
            : placeToMove.getFirstLineContentStart().line;
        const linePos = editor.posToOffset({
            line,
            ch: 0,
        });
        const coords = view.coordsAtPos(linePos, -1);
        if (coords) {
            v.top = coords.top;
            if (positionAfterList) {
                v.top += view.lineBlockAt(linePos).height;
            }
            // Better vertical alignment
            v.top -= 8;
        } else {
            v.top = -1;
        }
    }

    const nearestLineTop = dropVariants
        .filter((v) => v.top !== -1)
        .sort((a, b) => Math.abs(y - a.top) - Math.abs(y - b.top))
        .first()?.top;

    if (nearestLineTop === undefined) {
        this.dropVariant = null;
        return;
    }

    const variantsOnNearestLine = dropVariants.filter((v) => Math.abs(v.top - nearestLineTop) <= 4);
    this.dropVariant = variantsOnNearestLine
        .sort((a, b) => Math.abs(x - a.left) - Math.abs(x - b.left))
        .first();
}

calculateLeftPadding() {
    const { view } = this;
    let leftPadding = 0;

    for (let i = 0; i < view.state.doc.length; i++) {
        const coords = view.coordsAtPos(i);
        if (coords) {
            leftPadding = coords.left;
            break;
        }
    }

    this.leftPadding = leftPadding;
}

calculateTabWidth() {
    const { view } = this;
    const singleIndent = language.indentString(view.state, language.getIndentUnit(view.state));

    for (let i = 1; i <= view.state.doc.lines; i++) {
        const line = view.state.doc.line(i);
        if (line.text.startsWith(singleIndent)) {
            const a = view.coordsAtPos(line.from, -1);
            const b = view.coordsAtPos(line.from + singleIndent.length, -1);
            if (a && b) {
                this.tabWidth = b.left - a.left;
                return;
            }
        }
    }

    // Fallback to default tab width if no indented lines are found
    this.tabWidth = view.defaultCharacterWidth * language.getIndentUnit(view.state);
}

@vaughanvandyk, I think you pinged the wrong user, @kuyper posted that example list. (I'm travelling right now but I can post my own example list, that the forum and Github code fixes didn't work on, when I get home next week.)

The drag & drop feature currently only works in Source mode (and even then, it's rather temperamental). Any chance we could get this working in Live Preview? Looking at unformatted notes isn't exactly my idea of a good time! 😄

Also, @fenberg, how's that little code revision of yours holding up?
