I have an install that is NOT acting as I would anticipate.
Normal behavior in sketch is CNTR>select drag makes a copy of an instance.
I have a user that is trying to DRAG a line (LMB pick and drag).
It is NOT dragging, it is making a copy (with not CTRL).
Any ideas? Any setting?
I gave him the IT answer "have you tried rebooting"

Re: Strange Sketch Behavior
has the user pressed on their CTRL buttons to see if they didn't happen to be stuck..? I've never really heard of something like that, there is the "Automatic Solve" in sketch that does something somewhat similar, but it doesn't copy the line, it just drags it and removes relations if they are in conflict(Not exactly that, but it's along that line)Bryan O wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 9:38 am I have an install that is NOT acting as I would anticipate.

Re: Strange Sketch Behavior
Do they have sticky keys turned on (in windows?)
And i know that this might be a dumb question, but are you sure that it is copying, and not just showing you the ghost image on drag?
2nd dumb question: are you sure that they didn't have 2 lines drawn directly over each other, and they are dragging one and leaving the other?
(not trying to insult anyone with those questions....I have just seen all types)
