Hello, Loki@99

Thank you for the report, This seems to be an issue exclusive to Base content selection, as comment do already seem to work as desired. I have passed this along to the Dev team citing that the two functions should likely work in similar ways.

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel,

Indeed, there is no such issue when selecting multiple comments.

I tested with a single annotation or base content and there is the same issue.

Moving action is only triggered when dragging the rectangle selection border, center or a part of the annotation/base content.

Can move single annotation/object if I drag from these points

Hello, Loki@99

With a single annotation, I believe the handling is intentionally different, to allow for reselection in that area, incase of a mis-click. But I will bring it up and see what they think.
