Description

Expected Behavior

In previous versions of Scratch, dragging a comment over a block would attach it to the block. This makes the ability to add comments to individual blocks easier to discover.

Additionally, dragging a comment far away from the block it is attached to should make it a normal workspace comment.

Actual Behavior

The comment moves but is not attached to the block.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Right click the workspace or any block
  2. Add a comment
  3. Drag the comment over any (other) block
Operating System and Browser

All (this is a feature request)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the workspace comment drag interaction using the listed steps, then trace where comments are moved over blocks. Done means dragging over a block attaches the comment, while dragging an attached comment far away detaches it into a normal workspace comment; verify both behaviors across the stated environments.
