Missing clip length preview while dragging from playlist to timeline (was available in previous versions)

Hi,
I noticed that in the new version of Shotcut (v25.x), when I drag a clip from the playlist to the timeline, it no longer shows a visual preview or outline of the clip’s length before I drop it.

In earlier versions (like v24.x), Shotcut showed an outline or a “ghost” of the clip while dragging, which helped a lot to position clips accurately on the timeline.

Could you please check if this was removed intentionally or by mistake?

It was a very useful feature for arranging clips precisely.

Thank you for your hard work and for keeping Shotcut free and powerful

It does not do it when the Playlist is in Details (table) view mode, but it does in the others.
