I have this windows-like window with a title-bar as a handler, and when I drop it on a set of elements, it will snap to that element.
However when more than 50% of the dragged window is outside the droppable element it will snap to the element that is underneath the largest portion of the dragged window.
I don’t have an example I can post now, but I hope you know what I mean.
Any ideas on how to get the position of the mouse or handler and let that be the drop location, rather than the whole window I’m dragging? (without using .mousemove())
You should look at the snapMode and snapTolerance in the documentation, I think it will help you
