Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which when executed by a processing unit cause a browser application to:
causing display of a virtual board, the virtual board comprising a plurality of workflow state columns and a plurality of draggable issue items located within a workflow state column of the plurality of workflow state columns;
in response to a user selection of a particular draggable issue item, initiate a drag and drop operation;
determine that a previous location of the draggable item was over a first workflow state column prior to the initiation of the drag and drop operation;
determine that a current location of the draggable item is over a second workflow state column;
obtaining a first stickiness parameter of the first workflow state column, the first stickiness parameter indicating whether the first workflow state column is selected or deselected as a current drop target for dropping the draggable issue item based at least in part on the current location of the draggable issue item with respect to a first edge of the first workflow state column;
obtaining a second stickiness parameter of the second workflow state column, the second stickiness parameter indicating whether the second workflow state column is selected or deselected as the current drop target for dropping the draggable issue item based, at least in part, on the current location of the draggable issue item with respect to a second edge of the second workflow state column;
in response to the first stickiness parameter indicating that the first workflow state column is not sticky, deselecting the first workflow state column as a current drop target;
in response to the second stickiness parameter indicating that the second workflow state column is sticky and the current location being beyond an edge of the second workflow state column, selecting the second workflow state column as the current drop target; and
in response to the second stickiness parameter indicating that the second workflow state column is not sticky and the current location being beyond an edge of the second workflow state column, suppressing selection of the second workflow state column as the current drop target.
