 Replying to [comment:39 afercia]:

 Right, 49288.8.diff fixes the problems on the old Edit Post screen. Also
 start-location fixes placeholders when starting to drag. Looks good here.


 > I think that the outlines should be visible even when there's only one
 movable box visible.

 @joedolson Thinking this will be a "UX regression". Moving boxes is not
 the main purpose on the Dashboard, it is a settings option. Perhaps all
 placeholders can be visible when opening the Screen Options, even when
 nothing to drag there, but having drop areas that are always empty and
 cannot be used and cannot be hidden is not a good UI :)

 For example "contributor" level users can only see one box on the
 Dashboard. Why would they need to be constantly asked to drag it to
 another place? Ideally the empty drop areas will match the number of
 available/visible boxes (had a plan to add this long time ago, never got
 to it...).

 +1 to commit now, lets look into refining it during beta.
