Prerequisites

  • I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
  • The issue still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

Description

Clicking the + to add a new section above and then dragging a Widget to the new space creates a new section at the bottom of the page, not where the space was intended.

Steps to reproduce

On a page with more than one section, click the + on the handle bar on any of the existing sections to add a new section above, then drag a Widget to the new space. The new section will appear at the bottom of the page, not where you clicked the new section to be above.

Elementor - add section above

Isolating the problem

  • This bug happens with only Elementor plugin active (and Elementor Pro).
  • This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active.
  • I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.
