Make it easier to see what folder you're dragging a photo into

I’ve always had an easy time dragging and dumping photos from my filmstrip into a subfolder through the menu panel on the left. Since updating Lightroom (I hadn’t in a while due to PC issues), there is now a big thumbnail preview of the photo covering a large area, and it’s difficult to see which folder or subfolder I’m about to dump the photo into. Selecting the wrong folder will be incredibly annoying. I have to move the cursor around a bit as I’m dragging the photo to get a glimpse of what’s behind. This presents difficulties as I try to organize my photos. Mainly, I’m narrowing down the selection of photos I have to process by putting the “not great but maybe worth keeping” photos into their own subfolder…

I just want it to act the way it used to when I’d drag a photo around.
