Description
Describe the bug
By pressing Ctrl+Shift you can click on a line (say) and duplicate it to another location by dragging. However there is no highlighting of the line when you click on it; you just see the anchor. See screencast below.
The operation itself is, AFAICS, otherwise trouble-free.
** Expected behaviour**
Some highlighting, or other indication, to show which element has been highlighted.
