Answers.Text: Thanks for the response. I'm actually not looking to do any server side uploading of images, just moving existing images around inside of the editor. This should be fully controlled client side, but isn’t working in Craft. I updated my question with some example videos to make it clearer.

Answers.Body: <p>Just looked into this and it’s a Craft bug. If you add an image manually using the “Insert URL” option, the image can be dragged around, but not if you use the “Choose image” option, which opens Craft’s image selection modal.</p>
  
  <p>Saving the entry and coming back to it (or just typing Command + S) will also make the image draggable, regardless of how you added it.</p>

Title: Dragging images inside of rich text editor

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-07-24)
  
  On [Redactor's website](http://imperavi.com/redactor/), they provide a demo with an image that you can click on and drag around the editor to relocate it among the text.

  Trying this same functionality in the rich text editor in the Craft control panel doesn't work though. I even copied the demo HTML from Redactor's website and pasted it into Craft, without any luck.

  Just looked into this and it’s a Craft bug. If you add an image manually using the “Insert URL” option, the image can be dragged around, but not if you use the “Choose image” option, which opens Craft’s image selection modal.
  
  Saving the entry and coming back to it (or just typing Command + S) will also make the image draggable, regardless of how you added it.
  
  We’ll get this fixed.
