With only one Artboard dragging and dropping a layer on the empty space below the stack could move them to the bottom. Right now this is only possible with Artboards.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the drag and drop implementation in the layer stack handling code when only one artboard exists. Look for the condition that currently restricts moving layers to the bottom and extend it to trigger for the empty space below the stack.
