Bundle Structure - Drag to change sequence not working?

Steve Cline
I was creating a store bundle to load SUnit and friends and I placed SUnit before SUnitPreload and got a load order warning when I tried to publish it.  I went to the Bundle Structure tab and tried dragging to rearrange the order but whenever I "let go" (lifted my finger from the left mouse button) it would snap back to the original order.  I had to delete packages and add them in the correct order to get the desired order.  A minor irritation, but wanted to see if anyone else observed this behavior.  UsingVW7.8 on a Win7 32-bit box, and I do have some local mods loaded and have not tried it without them yet, but thought I would ask.

I confirm this happens.  SUnit prereqs SUnitPreload and SUnitPreload
disregards its (spurious) prereq of SUnit.  If you create a bundle,
adding SUnit and SUnitPreload, then you cannot drag SUnitPreload before
SUnit in the bundle structure tool, although you can drag SUnit after
SUnitPreload.  I suspect the checking is failing to ignore disregarded
prereqs, so SUnit can be dragged after (the tool sees that SUnit prereqs
SUnitPreload), but SUnitPreload cannot be dragged before (the tool sees
SUnitPreload prereqs SUnit and does not notice that this prereq is
disregarded).

AR 64317: "Bundle structure dragging does not ignore disregarded prereqs"

             Yours faithfully
