What to try when drag & drop isnt working in the form designer

Today I was going a little nutty. I was in the middle of a very productive swing customizing until my recent loss of drag & drop got the better of me. Frustrated, I turned to the ever helpful community and found just what I was looking for. I wanted to report in the event that anyone is struggling with this issue.

7. Then Enabled Display Mixed Content in Internet Security Zone.

8. Enabled Display Mixed Content in Trusted Site Security Zone

Hopefully it works for you as well as it worked for me. Happy Monday!

Special thanks to Jonathon Kazemaini for figuring it out
