[Qt-qml] Row, Loader, Drag and Flickable make strange bedfellows

[Martin Jones]

Hi,

I'm struggling to understand the exact problem.  Dragging items that are 
positioned by a Row may lead to conflict since both the Row and the MouseArea 
are manipulating the same item.  Because of this I would have expected that 
dragging the loaded item would be more successful.

Perhaps you could provide a small runnable example that demonstrates what you 
want to achieve and where its going wrong.

BR,
Martin.
