How can I change "move text box while editing range "?

Question

Hi, good folks, I think the title is a bit confusing here, so let me demonstrate this with a video.

While I'm editing a text box, you can see my cursor changes from a normal one to a "move" cursor when I move it near the said box. Is there a way I can modify the range of this?

I've been using an older Photoshop till now, and the older version had a much more generous range for this function, as you can see in the second video right below. Now I should keep my cursor really close to the box I want to move.

Of course, I can jump out from editing mode and use the actual move tool anytime, but that's inconvenient.

Thanks for your time, have a nice day!

Bob

After you reach the point that the cursor changes from Move to arrow press the Alt or Option key to change the cursor back to Move and then you should be able to move the text.

I've contacted the Adobe team for this, and the guy said there isn't a feature yet. He also told me to post this in the ideas, so I did just that. If any of you want this said feature implemented in future updates, please upvote this post so the developers will put it in a higher priority.
