Improved Drag UX

In Pivotal Tracker, when dragging a story either between the Backog and Icebox or to change its position within one of those columns, a horizontal-line cursor appears showing where it would appear when dropped, and a faint translucent image of the story (or if multiple stories are selected, a similar image indicating how many stories are selected) appears below the cursor (so that the mouse cursor is within it). Also, the story being dragged is highlighted

In LiteTracker currently, on the other hand, while dragging a story within a column makes changes to the order appear to take effect immediately (which works well for small tweaks but less so the farther the desired distance), a preview-ish image appears above and to the right (or maybe sometimes the left, or possibly below) of the mouse cursor. This makes it look like the story is being dragged to the next column over. (I wasn’t able to get a screenshot of this; my guess is the drag is being handled completely by the browser, as if this were an image being dragged into or out of the browser.)

(When I noted this before, there were similar issues with dragging columns to rearrange them, but when I went to take a screenshot to document that I saw that that now works almost as smoothly as Pivotal Tracker—-thanks!)
