How can you keep "aligned" from turning on automatically while using the clone stamp?

While using the Clone Stamp" tool, the "aligned" check box checks itself.   While painting I suddenly discover that my chosen clone source is moving.  Is there any way to keep this feature from turning itself on?

This should be merged into the older thread.

    So as per the thread @Lumigraphics linked to it appears @larrys43843227 is probably alt-double-clicking even if not saying so.

      I cannot reproduce the problem. 

       

      Areyou using Tool Presets or Brush Presets with included Tool Settings while stamping? 

       

      Please provide an exact description (with screenshots or a screen recording including all pertinent Panels) of the situation when the undesired settings-change happens.

      While painting, if you click numerous times in quick succession, the aligned check box comes on. While painting a large piece of trash from a grassy surface in a photo; when you click either too often or too quickly, you suddenly find that the source is moving (i.e., aligned) with the cursor. There is a perfectly good check box to click if you want this to happen. Why would anyone want this to happen automatically?

        Again: I cannot reproduce the issue. 

        So as far as I am concerned it does not happen. 

        Can you provied a screen-recording of the issue happening (with all pertinent Panels visible)? 

         

        What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?
        Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

        An aside: Aren’t you afraid the numerous repetitions of the same source will become noticable?
