Describe the bug

When I have a longer, more complicated, multi-line dynamic macro, dragging a step around is... rather unclear. There is little visual indication about which other steps are gonna get moved. Sure, Chrysalis makes a little space for the dragged step, but in a long macro, that's not always straightforward to see, especially when the dragging spans multiple lines. Things just wave around in that case.

It doesn't help that trying to quickly drag something around may shuffle everything else too.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a longer, multi-line macro.
  2. Drag one of the steps quickly around.
  3. Observe that the whole macro gets jumped up.

Expected behavior

I'd love to have some more visual clarity about what is being moved to where, some kind of highlight. It'd also be nice if the rest of the steps wouldn't move, that if the dragged step would be the only thing that changes position.

Screenshots

See the attached video for a showcase of the problem.

In this video, I'm dragging the last Tap: K step around. I would expect that this is the only step that moves. Yet, at the end, the whole macro becomes all messed up, because everything else moves around aswell.
