Summary
On a Cloud instance, the app editor's canvas has felt 'super sticky' for months — components frequently refuse to move or resize, requiring repeated attempts, and the behavior persists across two separate computers.
AI Response
This pattern matches a recent, solved report where the editor would freeze or fight back specifically when moving or resizing components. In that case the root cause was client-side rather than a platform-wide issue, and it was isolated by reproducing in a Chrome Incognito window (which disables extensions) — strongly worth trying given the same symptom appears on two different machines that may share a browser profile or extension. It's also worth collapsing the editor's dependency Graph pane and, for heavier apps, applying Retool's performance best practices to reduce editor strain. If an Incognito/clean-profile session behaves normally, a browser extension is the most likely culprit.
