PBI Desktop Query Editor - can't drag queries to reposition them

This seems to have stopped working with October update.

In the query list (left hand pane) of the Query Editor window I can no longer drag queries to new position on the list.

The only option now is to right click and use Move Up, Move Down.

This makes it frustratingly slow to do the simple task of reorganising my queries.

Please try with the latest version 2.52.4921.461 (November 2017) of PBI Desktop. I can drag the query properly as following gif.

Fantastic.

I just installed the November update and I can drag the queries again.

 

Thanks Herbert!
