Dragging floaty sticky notes - 8 views

  It seems to be very difficult to drag a floating sticky note, because the hover action immediately opens the note. May be I'm not clever enough, but is there any idea or workaround for it? (It is in Firefox, using toolbar.)

  Here testing Diigo 4.1.0.3 with Firefox 3.5.3,
  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 GTB6
  
  I see what you mean. Sometimes the window of the note overlays much of its icon, requiring a more accurate aim for the part of the icon that's left.

  Diigolet 4.0b14 with the same Firefox, and with Safari 4.0.3 (6531.9) in Mac OS X 10.6.1 Build 10B504, is not bugged in the same way.
  
  If you're a regular user of floating notes, you might like to disable the add-on version of Diigo, and use Diigolet, until an improvement is made to the add-on.

  PS at http://www.sg.hu/cikkek/69971/mi_a_meztelen_igazsag you might like to drag your note away from the midst of the text. It will be better received if you float it in the margin. Finding the best position to float a note can be a mysterious art :) especially when you can't predict how wide other viewer's windows will be, so I veer towards page comments and sticking notes to highlighted text unless a floating note is essential…

  Hi Graham, thank you for the advice. (Actually the window of the note - at least in my experience - overlays the entire icon, so doesn't leave any corner to drag it.) And of course, you are right in this positioning issue.
