 Hello,

 This ticket has been dormant for a while - but I wanted to see if there
 may be any chance of further action related to this issue. I received the
 following request from one of our users related to this exact issue:


 ----


 We are familiar with the "Edit Menu" option for each of the menu items,
 but the
 feature is very limited and only allows a couple of movement changes. It
 would
 be great if this menu had an option to move as child to X, or move as
 parent to
 X with much more flexibility.

 In the main menu screen, using the NVDA screen reader, I am noticing that
 whenever I move menu items around, if I am moving the item up through the
 menu
 structure, as it moves in and out of menus to its destination, other menu
 items
 get included with the original item during the dragging process, which
 completely rearranges the entire menu structure.

 The only work-around I have found is to not move the item horizontally,
 but
 instead continue moving it vertically through all of the existing menu
 items
 until I reach the new location.

 I wonder if perhaps the new WordPress updates address this?

 ----

 Any room for further discussion and or action related to this issue?
 Thanks!
