Allow Scrolling while dragging item in Project Window

Hi there, would it be possible at all to allow scrolling while dragging items in the project window? Currently the only way to get the project window to scroll while holding an item is to hold your cursor at a very specific spot (that isn't really overly clear at all) and then just pray it moves at the correct speed and doesn't move at either the speed of a snail or completely teleport to the top/bottom.

 

Organising large projects is really important and sometimes it really does just feel like I'm fighting premiere to get it done and the only way to get on with my day is manually close all bins that aren't the bin I'm after. Allowing mouse wheel scrolling would allow the user to more naturally search for the bin they're after in the list and place a file where they want it to be. In the same vein I feel like `Shift + MouseWheel` should allow the user to scroll horizontally in the project window as well, but that might be a discussion for another post.

 

I'm unsure if this is maybe disabled due to the icon/freeform view? I can't imagine why it'd be an issue there but I never use those views so that could just be on me.

Here's a video showcasing how bonkers it can feel sometimes; gdrive link

1. Version: 25.5

2. Platform and OS version: Windows 11 10.0.26100 Build 26100
3. Steps to reproduce: Have large project, attempt to move file from one end of the project window to the other...
4. Expected result and actual result: Scrolling with the mouse wheel should scroll in the desired direction, allowing the user to more naturally navigate the UI. Currently, scrolling while dragging something in premiere does nothing
