0.6.2 not reliable with excalidraw

[zsviczian]

I played a bit with the latest pre-release.
It sort of works... but is not reliable.

On the video:

• in the first attempt 2021-10-24 markdown view is active when I initiate the alt+drag action. When I dropped the block reference to Excalidraw for some reason a previous block reference was dropped. Notice how the block in markdown view has a different block reference compared to what was dropped to Excalidraw: bwfoc92 vs. 3q8xcwv.
• In the second case, starting at 0:00:25, I put my cursor to the 2021-10-23 markdown view, before initiating the alt+drag of the block reference to Excalidraw. In this case, the right block reference arrives, but the letter d and some empty lines appear in the 2021-10-23 markdown view.
• Finally, starting at 0:00:50, I first drag the block reference to the left, and then to Excalidraw. In this case, everything works as expected. Note that 2021-10-23 markdown view was the active view each time I initiated the alt+drag action.

Thanks @zsviczian … I have been having a lot of issues like this with a lot of different plugins that have their own views types.

To get it released I am probably going to add a check that makes it not work for dragging into anything except a standard markdown view edit mode.

But excalidraw is the first plugin I plan to “optimize” for in an early update after initial release to the community plugin store.

so many darn corner cases to handle with drag and drop!!
