The test navigates to a public web site and tries to drag and drop a draggable element in various ways. As mentioned in the inline comments, the commands are executed without failure but without visible effect. The last drag and drop command, however, is executed on a non-draggable element and, oddly enough, there is some action (text is marked). The testlog reveals that POST is executed in either case. How come, the other DnD commands do not work as expected?
