Hi,
I've just upgraded Powershell Studio to 2023 and either creating a new project or editing a current one, controls added to form from Toolbox can't be moved across the form using the mouse, only using cursor keys, which is very annoying.

Is there any workaround?
Thanks.

What happens when you attempt to move a control? Does it appear to snap back into its original place?

Also, are you using more than one monitor?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, the control itself does not move, appears "static" in the position where it was placed.
I am using two screens, yes (but being using this setup for years).
Thanks.

Do you have custom scaling on either of the monitors? There is a known bug in .NET that the designer can cause this behavior with custom scaling on a monitor. It is not always consistent. Sometimes changing scaling resolves this and other times restarting the machine resolves this issue.

Great! Looks like problem is solved.
I rebooted my machine and also removed any scaling in my screens and I'm able to move controls again.
Thanks a lot for your help!
