           Summary: Disallow dragging Places into other Places
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 23.08.3

SUMMARY
The Places panel allows dragging a place into another place. While it does ask
you whether you want to move, copy or link before it does anything, this menu
is still confusing to new users. If a user is trying to reorder places, they
might click on Move and end up moving a directory into another directory
instead. This seems like something that should just be disallowed (by default?)
as it seems like the kind of functionality people would use very rarely. Even
worse, when a directory is moved into another directory, there is absolutely no
visual feedback in the sidebar, so the user could be moving directories without
even realizing it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add places to Dolphin Places panel
2. Attempt to reorder places, dragging a place onto another place
3. Thoughtlessly click Move Here when the context menu pops up

OBSERVED RESULT
The directory will be quietly moved into the destination directory instead.

EXPECTED RESULT
Something less confusing
