I can get some addons to move it, but the first time you go through a portal it resets.
I've disabled my minimap addon (Chinchilla)
Nothing much else running.
Even the default minimap covers the quest tracker frame.
MoveAnything won't move it at all.
rObjectiveTracker moves it just fine, but it doesn't stay, it resets.
And this is a recent clean install--just a few months ago.

Well, I know what's happening. The Quest Tracker frame is tied to the mini-map, which seems to have a tied together persistent location, which can only be moved by moving the mini-map (like with MoveAnything).
If you replace the mini-map with any add-on, like Chinchilla, the mini-map gets replaced but the quest tracker stays locked to the old position that the original mini-map was last at. The new add-on mini-map has no link to the quest tracker.
So I'm not sure if this is a Blizzard bug or if the add-on developers haven't figured out how to do it correctly (all mini-map add-ons had the same problem).
Workaround: With the original mini-map, use MoveAnything to move the mini-map (down and to the left). Then replace it with the add-on mini-map. The quest tracker will stay in place at the lower y value. Side affect: when the ui refreshes, your new min-map add-on will appear in the same place as the old original mini-map was, so you have to drag it back many times a playing session.
As a developer, I'd say it was a poor design change by Blizzard that broke it, and it needs to be fixed.

Absolutely poor UI by Blizzard totally unbelievable! You'd think if they can make a great game like WoW they could manage a usable UI! The worst ever!
