Description

update

The Verawood stop-gap bugfix has been split out to: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/issues/311

We'll keep this ticket open to track the component-dragging-over-long-unit issue but it won't be a priority.

original ticket

This issue is from the https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/issues/1835
Cannot scroll components past very long components.

This is a very minor issue because it has low reach (most users don't have components that long, especially not sequential ones) and has workarounds (the user can technically scroll while dragging with some input devices, can remove from unit and re-add, or can often drag the longer unit past the shorter one).
