Changing the status of an issue via drag&drop is not possible within the same column. This is possible without problem, as long as the status is in another column. However, if I want to change from status 'new' to 'open', both status being assigned to the same column 'In Progress', then this is not possible via drag and drop.

This has already been commented on https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Transitioning+an+Issue?utm_source=SAC&utm_medium=dashboard#TransitioninganIssue-screenshot2.

Please fix this.
