Major Description
This was NOT an issue in June 28 2007 code drop. Now it is broken. Simply put, the problem is that larger portlet (height wise) does not automatically moves up to fill the void. Details as following...
On default page (Welcome to Jetspeed 2), it is a two column layout, full of small (S: height is small) or large (L: height is large) portlets in two columns, as below:
column 0 column 1
-----------------------------------
portletA (S) | portletD (S)
portletB (S) | portletE (L)
portletC (L) |
now you drag portletA to move it to column 1, portletB moves up to take portletA's position (while portletC stayed where it was). At this time, you can move portlet A back to its original position or the empty area where portletB was. However, in my understanding, after portletA is moved out, besides portletB moves up, portletC should also be moving up automatically to take over the old portletB position. it didn't happen. ALSO, you can't even manually drag portletC up to old portletB location. As matter of fact, yesterday, with JS2.1.2 code base, even portletB didn't move up (therefore, old portletA position was a white space, today with the patch that fixed the NoActions Layout issue corrected the moving problem partially, at least portletB now moves up automatically, but portlet B doesn't). This feature was always working and was still working in my June 28 code drop.
