jsampson06 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 When I try to drag nodes of a rectangle the mouse keeps letting go. How can I prevent this? This is version 1.10.6.1665 on Windows 10. Dragging generally works OK so it is not my hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Would you be able to supply a video of this happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsampson06 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Possibly, but I am not convinced that it is necessary. It will only show what I have described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, your description is not exactly accurate and understandable. How are you trying to drag nodes? What tool? Move Tool? Rectangle Tool? Any other tool? Is the rectangle layer locked? ..... And many other possible causes that are difficult for anyone to detect without providing additional information/screenshots/videos.

jsampson06 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 I drag nodes by putting the mouse arrow over the node (at the corner of a rectangle, for example), holding the left button down and moving the mouse. I expect the node to move with the mouse cursor until I release the left button. But the node stops moving before I release the button. I expect I could spend the day investigating this but time flies. Are there settings that would improve performance of drag-and-drop procedures like this? Is the problem unique to me, or have others had similar experiences? All I can do at the moment is report that the problem occurs. If it is unique to me, I would rather this matter were closed as I do not have time to pursue it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you we could spend the day investigating, even more than you since we don't know the details of your situation. Currently only you knows your layout setup. For instance below the requested setting would be in the Pinning panel. Please don't just reply that this sample does not show "the node stops moving" but specify your layout. Since words are more ambiguous than pictures at least a screenshot would help. mouse node drag < pinning.m4v If we don't know a possible reason for your issue your entire screen (including panels, tools and bars) can help to detect a possible culprit.

jsampson06 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 It is up to you whether you investigate the matter. I was just reporting it. I withdraw my question how to prevent the letting-go. I should not have asked. Sorry. Pšenda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 @jsampson06 I see this occasionally whilst using my Apple Trackpad on my Macs. This behaviour is, in my opinion, due to the trackpad/mouse. With a mouse it may be due to the mouse needing a good cleaning or it may be (less likely) caused by the drivers.

thomaso Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 @Old Bruce, the initial "report" includes unambiguous statements 😇 : • Windows • it is not my hardware Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
