Happening to me too for the last couple months. When I'm transforming something and I let go of the mouse button, it doesn't end the transformer, it sticks to my mouse until I click.

Yes, I can confirm that this is happening again. Not just with transform tools, but whenever I use Puppet Warp. Also, at times moving objects. The funny thing is, that it doesn't happen all the time. When the handles become sticky, in transform, I usually hold the left mouse button momentarily and the handles become unstuck, if this makes sense. With Puppet Warp I have to delete the point. With moving objects and they become sticky, I usually go back a step and then retry moving the object.

This is also happening to me. Every time I go to transform, resize, move workspace, and adjust brush size.

Still happening. Nothing it fixed. This is still an issue and it is intermittent.

Yes, happening again. Not just with transform tools, but whenever I try to move objects too, as well as puppet warp.

Since the latest update, my hand tool 'sticks' to the image, not allowing it to continue moving/scrolling when I release the mouse button.

I am used to 'throwing' my images around the screen with the hand tool, whilst I clean-up dust spots, but the tool will no longer let go, i.e. once the mouse button is released, the image moves around as I move the mouse, as though the left button is still held down. Stopping the scroll completely, then releasing, usually solves it, but it's now taking me much longer to edit.

Hi @gadget13769 Go to Preferences/Tools and disable flick panning and overscroll - does the issue still occur?

Are you using only a mouse or do you also have a graphics tablet/pen?
