SUMMARY when drag-and-dropping text, there is visual feedback of the text being d&d but because the feedback is opaque, the cursor is hidden, and it is very difficult to place the text in its new location. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. write some text 2. select and drag 3. try to position it... OBSERVED RESULT it's very difficult to aim EXPECTED RESULT it should be easy. This could easily be achieved by making the feedback semitransparent.

Hmm, for me this is already properly semi-transparent.

No, there is no switch for that.
I will close this. It works as designed, it is unfortunate that for your setup the translucent stuff doesn't work properly, but I don't see that we implement a second code path for this to workaround driver issues.

Fair enough. I still think these issues should be documented. Which is now done :)
