Maybe.

I got a look at the drag'n'drop stuff and found a funny behaviour of the
current Gantt Chart/Row on that point: What is changed by the
drag-duration is not the duration, but the work, which have strange
effect.

Suppose a task that have a duration of 2 days, and a work of 4 days, and
a resource assigned to it, the resource is assigned at 200%. When you
drag it's duration, and change your mind, get back to 2 days, and
release the button, the *work* is set to 2 days, and so the duration is
half what you expected graphically.

In my guess, what you *see* on the chart is a duration, not a work...
Should this considered a bug? Is it already in bugzilla? Should I fill
it? What behaviour should I adopt for the same functionality in my view?
