AE 2020 Can't drag Z axis

I just upgraded to AE 2020 and now I can't drag 3D objects using the z axis handle. I can still drag objects using the y and x axis handles like normal. Is there a new checkbox I have to click to enable this or is it a bug?

 

Thanks!

Thanks Rick! It does appear to be a bug in AE CC 2020.

I should mention that my composition view is set to Active Camera NOT Front.

This is a known issue when the Z-axis is pointed directly at the camera. If it is at any kind of angle you should be able to click and drag in the comp panel. The workaround is to use multiple views to move the camera around.
