Description

I want to drag the timeline when I click directly on a marker. This works in some examples (I assume they load older versions of the timeline library), but not with the latest.

For example, cannot click on marker with the default example at::
http://timeline.knightlab.com/#examples

Can click and drag the marker with:

If this change in behavior is intentional, can someone point me to the change-list that modified this behavior?

Thanks,

Matt

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in the TimelineJS default example and compare it with the older example linked in the report. Trace the marker and timeline drag interaction to identify the behavior change; done means dragging from a marker works in the current default example without breaking normal marker interaction.
