new problem adding apps to folders -- Jelly Bean

[GeneralAG]

You can just go to the apps button, long press the background and make the folders there with no problems.

I fixed this same issue by going to Settings, Language & Input, Pointer Speed. I moved slider to far right. The icons and folders all behave now. No need to open/close et cetera.

If you do it slowly it will move it out of the way, if you do it fast it will enter the folder

This works!

Same problem with Oreo

This problem started happening recently.

Before this problem started, I could drag an app icon to a folder, see a blue circle around the folder and drop the app into the folder.

Recently I found that most of the time if I drag an app icon to a folder, the folder moves out of the way and I can't add that app to the folder.
If I keep trying, I can sometimes get the blue halo and drop the app into the folder. It is very erratic and inconsistent.

Could it be a setting? Could it be some app that I added?
The only odd app I am using is Widgetsoid which recently updated to a new version.

Do you have any ideas about what is causing the problem and how to fix it?

Problem solved Pixel launcher on the Google pixel c tablet is the issue. Installed Nova launcher no more app folder problems.

Happy New Year to all.

Come on Google. It's been 6 years and from Froyo to Oreo in this thread and this is still an issue. I can't seem to drop an app on a folder on my desktop for the life of me on my Pixel II XL. Everything just skerries out of the way no matter how fast or slow I move. I've even tried to half throw the app icon at the folder....no go. This shouldn't be happening on a stock device. Very poor user experience. :-\
