Description

Currently, when attempting to drop the window on the desktop, the cursor indicates 'not allowed.' However, once the editor can be dragged outside, the cursor should switch to the appropriate grabbing icon. Alternatively, it would be beneficial if an animation similar to the Chromium browser's could be implemented.
