Can't drag markdown cells in edit mode

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

Create a new blank Jupyter Notebook file - there should be a single python cell Create a new markdown cell

With the bug

Moving your cursor anywhere around the edge of the cell will turn it into the grab icon However, attempting to actually click and drag will not do anything

Expected behavior

I expect that if the cursor shows a grab icon, I will be able to drag the cell to other places in the notebook (I also expect that the grabable area will be the same for Python and Markdown cells, but that’s very minor by comparison)

@benstreb Thanks for filing an issue. I can reproduce this. It looks like Markdown cells can only be dragged and dropped when they are rendered, but not when they are in edit mode:

I can also repro this in a GitHub issues notebook, so I believe this is common to all notebooks.
