The drop list has some logic that doesn't allow a swap to occur if the items being swapped are the same as the ones in the previous swap and the direction of the user's pointer hasn't changed. This is set up so that we don't trigger a swap for every pixel, if the user's pointer lands on a different item after the previous swap is done.

The above-mentioned logic can be problematic if the user takes an item from the middle, drags it out of the list and then inserts it at the end while dragging upwards. In this case the list won't allow the swap, because the item is the same as the one in the previous swap and the pointer's direction hasn't changed.

These changes resolve the issue by preventing the swap only if the user's pointer landed on the same item after the previous swap was finished.

Fixes #19249.
