@gonfunko Are you cool waiting to merge this until after the release next week? or do you want it to go in? Personally I would rather have longer to test it if possible. |
Yes, absolutely was not expecting this to land in the imminent release. |

Proposed Changes
This PR removes block and workspace drag surfaces in favor of directly translating the relevant SVGs.
Reason for Changes
Performance for both panning the workspace and dragging blocks, particularly when large block stacks are involved, is substantially improved on Chrome, essentially unchanged on Firefox (where it was already excellent) ands slightly reduced on Safari, yet still much better than it was on Chrome before this change.
In addition to generally improved performance, this also removes a good bit of code, improving future maintainability.
Test Coverage
Verified that tests are passing and manually tested in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
