Hi all, I’m building a screen with nested layouts (Container inside Container), and I’m unable to drag one layout into another — it keeps snapping back. I made a screen recording showing what I’m doing and where it fails: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1uwobh2nkvecsy0w4dt0z/Thunkable-Layout-drag-and-drop-issue-2025-07-28-PST.mov?rlkey=fzziwd1wp3k786er0937ecp0w&st=hwl42but&dl=0](https://Video%20of%20layout%20drag%20and%20drop%20issue) I’ve tried collapsing/expanding containers and zooming out in the UI, but no luck. Is this a bug? Or is there a trick to structuring deeply nested layout trees in the drag-and-drop UI? Thanks in advance — I can’t build my app until this is solved!! ---
