**1. The behavior you unexpectedly encountered** - In the Designer, if I have focus on a panel (project browser/property editor) and I click into the workspace, it acts like I haven't released the mouse button and am attempting to drag.

**2. The behavior you were expecting to see** - I expect the focus to change, but nothing to be selected.

**3. A list of the steps you took that exposed the issue** -

- click in a panel other than the workspace
- click into the workspace
- workspace behaves as if the mouse button is still held

**4. A list of helpful information about the situation you were in**

- The Ignition version number - 8.1.42

I only noticed this after upgrading the gateway to 8.1.42 but not sure if it's related.

I tried to grab a screen recording, but oddly enough, it doesn't happen when I'm recording.

Is this in the Perspective workspace, specifically?

I don't work in Vision at all, let me check.

edit - yes, only seeing this behavior in the Perspective workspace.
