Description
I cannot reproduce this bug and even though it happens very rarely, it annoys me enough to report it.
What happens:
- I drag a layer from one position to another in the layers panel.
- When I drop the layer it vanishes and I cannot seem to find it anywhere in the panel.
I can also happen when I drag a file from outside QGIS into QGIS layer panel.
It might be that I drop the layer exactly between two objects (layers) but I would expect the panel behind to pick up the layer and either:
- try to calculate the position and redrop the layer correctly.
- drop the layer in the top of the list.
- drop the layer in the bottom of the list.
- cancel the drop.
I'm not sure whether QGIS keeps a handle to the file even though the layer is lost into the imaginary parts of the layers panel.
I'm using weekly master version 33 (5e26fbd) but it also happens in the official 2.4 release. I know its not much to go at :(

I move to close this (my) issue due to:
- It targets a very old QGIS version.
- I guess it probably needs to be solved in QT rather than in QGIS (if it hasn't already been done).
- I haven't seen the issue for a looong time.
