The handle appears on hover, then disappears as the pointer slowly crosses the gutter, preventing it from being grabbed.

Hovering reveals the handle. It stays available through the slow approach and gutter pause, allowing a real paragraph drag.

How is it judged?

01 · Given
Restore the data and starting state.
The user is editing a work-item description composed of multiple content blocks and wants to reorder a paragraph using its on-demand drag handle on the left. Hovering over the paragraph has already revealed the handle.

02 · When
Perform the interaction.
The user moves the pointer along a normal continuous path from the paragraph content toward the visible drag handle, preparing to press and begin dragging.

03 · Judge
Rationale: The drag handle initiates paragraph reordering. Keeping a revealed handle reachable across the approach path lets the user acquire the tool and start dragging at a comfortable pointer speed.
Require
The revealed drag handle stays visible and interactive along a reasonable continuous pointer path from the paragraph to the handle, allowing the user to acquire it and begin dragging at ordinary pointer speeds.
Allowed
  • The handle may stay visible, appear on demand, hide after a delay, or use an extended hover region while preserving pointer access.
  • The handle's position, icon, spacing, animation, and layout may vary.
  • The handle may hide or move attention after the pointer leaves the paragraph, the path to its handle, and the handle itself.
  • Keyboard or touch methods may supplement the required pointer interaction.
  • Acceptance concerns acquiring the handle and beginning the drag; subsequent drop presentation and persistence may vary.
