Description

@jake-abma

In G219 there is an alternative added which is the core of the problem for dragging or pointer gestures... :-)

Total text:

Such dragging movements are difficult or impossible to carry out for some users with motor disabilities. The alternative to dragging movements operates the underlying function by one or several single pointer activations. A single tap or click may reveal controls (arrows) to move a target in a stepwise fashion; open a drop-down menu where the drop position can be selected; or allow moving it to an ajacent postion by a swipe gesture.

Last part is:

or allow moving it to an ajacent postion by a swipe gesture.

The swipe gesture part is a problem for "some users with motor disabilities"...

(also ajacent should be adjacent... but no change needed as all needs to be deleted)
