    Hi everyone,

    I have a case where a user, with a Microsoft Surface Pro device, is able to create a report but he is unable to drag & drop items from the source pane to the list. Actually whenever he tries to drag & drop items from the source pane the report stop responding and the user is unable to do anything. He tried it in Chrome, Edge and Firefox with the same result.
    I also checked, with developer mode, the possible warnings and errors (see attached image) appearing during the drag & drop but I couldn't find something useful.

    Finally, I found the following article which is relevant to 10.2, but in this article it is stated that "when the Surface Pro is in tablet mode (no keyboard or mouse) it is now a mobile device and is not supported as Windows is not a supported mobile OS". In my case has keyboard and mouse:

    I'll appreciate any suggestions.

    Kind Regards
