Description
In Page Module for new editors the visual hint that Content Elements can be moved by drag-n-drop is missing.
Old TYPO3 v11 vs. new design proposal:¶
- Above: old - gray bar is grab-area to move Content Element
- Below: design proposal - thin line divides header-area which is grabbable from non-grabbable content-area
Actual implementation in TYPO3 v12¶
- Above: as-is
- Below: as-is - actual grabbable area highlighted (blue)
How to fix?¶
Any ideas on how to make the grabbable area visually distinguable?
Maybe add a button like for IRRE records - e.g. media assets?

Media asset elements (IRRE) use an icon because the icon is the only part that can be grabbed to perform the Drag & Drop.
for the CE in page view, when you hover the draggable part, the cursor changes to cursor:move
I agree that the visual hint of the changed cursor is a bit scarce :)
a couple of suggestions
1. just a background change on hover
2. make an icon appear on hover like this (very rough mockup, just to give you the idea)
