The dragging preview doesn't show when dragging for the second time

[Gautam Jain]

On this link https://help.syncfusion.com/maui/datagrid/row-drag-and-drop under the section "Reorder the underlying data" you have the below code. It works properly the first time. When dragging the Row drag view (RowDragDropTemplate) is drawn correctly and the when the drag ends, the row is correctly moved.

However, from second time onwards, the "Row drag view" (RowDragDropTemplate) is not drawn at all. But in the background it seems that the drag and drop seems to be happening. This looks like a bug. Please check.

After a lot of trial I found that the issue goes away if I remove the line e.Cancel=true. But then the rows are not dragged and dropped in proper order.

Hi Gautam Jain,

Thank you for sharing the detailed information.

We are currently validating the reported issue where the row drag preview (RowDragDropTemplate) is not displayed from the second drag onwards when using QueryRowDragging with e.Cancel = true to reorder the underlying collection.

We are actively investigating this behavior on our side and analyzing the drag event sequence (DragStarted, QueryRowDragging, and drop handling) to identify the root cause.

We will update you with our detailed findings on or before February 13, 2026. We appreciate your patience and cooperation until then.

Best regards,

Hi Gautam Jain,

We have checked your query regarding the issue where the RowDragDropTemplate (row drag view) is displayed only for the first row drag operation in SfDataGrid, and from the second drag operation onwards, the row drag view is not shown, even though the row is still being reordered in the background. We are able to reproduce this behavior at our end. We have considered this as a bug and logged a bug report regarding this in our feedback portal. We will fix the reported issue and include the changes in our upcoming weekly patch release, which is expected to be rolled out on Mar 03, 2026. We will let you know once released, and we appreciate your patience until then. You can also track the status of the bug using the feedback link below.

Hi Gautam Jain,

We are glad to inform you that the reported issue regarding the “Row drag view (RowDragDropTemplate) not displaying from the second drag operation when reordering the underlying data in SfDataGrid” has been resolved. This fix has been incorporated into our latest weekly NuGet release. To benefit from this fix, we recommend updating your SfDataGrid package to version 32.2.7.

NuGet Gallery | Syncfusion.Maui.DataGrid 32.2.7

Root Cause of the issue:

          When we set the e.Cancel to true, the dropping should not be performed in DataGrid. So, if e.Cancel was true we return the OnDragEnded method. The root cause of the issue was we return the OnDragEnded method without resetting the values when e.Cancel is true

We thank you for your support and appreciate your patience in waiting for this update. Please get in touch with us if you require any further assistance.

Best Regards,
