Cannot move components - cursor changes on hover but drag doesn't initiate

Hi! I wanted to flag a consistent issue I am running into. When I try to move or resize components (tables, text, buttons, etc.), the drag interaction frequently does not work — even when the cursor correctly changes to a resize/move indicator on hover. This happens across all component types, every time.

It makes it very slow and frustrating because repositioning/resizing anything takes many repeated attempts - the UI just seems to lag and is not very responsive. Even when I am able to move something, there isn’t much granularity. I am aware that there are keyboard shortcuts and that you can use the arrows to move things and its a fine workaround. I’m just curious why the mouse won’t work because it feels like the primary interaction here. is this is a known issue, a technical constraint of the canvas, or something on my end I can address? Thanks!

Im also getting this issue. trying to drag and move or resize components doesnt work, I basically I have to refresh the whole page and it works for a bit then stops eventually. Makes it very frustrating.

Hey there @lilrosi welcome to the Community! And @Jesse_Senger welcome back!

I'm sorry to hear this has been happening consistently for both of you. If you're able to reproduce it, it would be really helpful to capture a HAR file (network traffic) and a performance profile, those give us the raw data we need to dig in. :+1:

This is also happening to me: dragging and resizing components is basically non-functional. I can only reliably move them with the arrow keys :frowning:
