Clicking 'out of' hilighted text keeps bugging out, sticking

#1

Hi,

I have purchased Sublime Text, and it is quite ideal, except for one small thing which seems to make editing intolerable…
When I have some text selected, and I want to ‘click away’ from it, ie. clicking after it to put the cursor at the end, or clicking somewhere else all together… upon clicking, the cursor turns to the ‘drag’ cursor, where it thinks that I am trying to pick up the text and drag it elsewhere. This happens even if I click fast/instantly, and so it makes clicking off of text nearly impossible. This happens on my laptop keyboard mouse and also an external mouse I have. It also does not happen in any other application - that is why I am writing this issue here.

I don’t know if it’s possible to capture a screenshot, because it deals with the mouse, which is always moving, so I hope that I have provided enough information. PLEASE let me know if I can help in any other way.

Thanks for reading.

Ryan

It would help folks to know what version, build and platform you are running, and what plugins you have installed.

If you, like me, don’t use the text drag functionality, could simply disable it in user settings by adding:

"drag_text": false
