Is this an intended feature? If so, is it possible to turn this off?

This is a major issue for me ATM as I need to select random tags to edit historian configurations without accidently moving them. I am working through 3 levels of VMs and the lag will sometimes register as if I let go of the left click and move the tags.

Interesting; I am able to replicate this. With CTRL pressed my expectation is that the tag will copy, but instead, the tag is moved without the normal warning prompt.

Does anybody know if this is the point? Is the CTRL button really meant to override the warning, or is there something wrong with the copy option?

**Edit:** This is apparently a known bug:

> v8.1.0rc1 This is definitely useful when you have stuff in the clipboard you want to preserve, instead of replacing it with a tag definition to duplicate it.

I'm pretty sure we're already tracking this as a bug internally.
