Why is my paint fill disappearing when I move drawings?

New Here ,

I am severely confused. It is a persistent issue in that sometimes (not mostly, but certainly enough to become quite irksome) when I go to move something I've drawn (and subsequently filled with the Paint Bucket), despite EVERYTHING being selected, it winds up deleting all paint within the selection, leaving the pencil/line/etc borders intact when I deselect the drawing. I click within the object to make sure it's not just a visual error and, sure enough, there is nothing to be highlighted where the paint would otherwise be. I have to undo all of my commands involving the drawing and re-select it and try moving it again.

Sometimes it continues to act in this manner MULTIPLE attempts in a row of going back and forth through re-doing everything before it finally acts normally.

I'm not touching anything on the keyboard while doing this nor clicking anything else on the mouse (at work on iMac using default Apple mouse so I'm literally just holding down the singular click to drag said drawings.

Every time this happens it throws me off-track for several minutes at a time and have wasted literally hours of time from just how many different instances this has plagued me.

I've even gone to the lengths of exporting files to video just to be ABSOLUTELY sure it's not simply a buggy display and the objects are definitely magically removing the paint from within their borders.

Would anyone have any insight on why this might be happening?
