Moving inventory items quickly after clicking them drops them again

If you single click (not hold) items in your inventory to move them, and very quickly move to another cell or outside your inventory, the game will drop the item you clicked into whatever cells your cursor is now covering without clicking a second time. This only happens when you move the cursor very quickly.

It seems more likely to happen at higher FPS. It can be done at 60fps, 15fps seems impossible.

I think the same thing was reported years ago, here: Clicking an item in your inventory and then quickly moving your mouse causes you to "drop" the item

I had my friend test and she said it was also reproduceable.
I was able to do this with two different mouses, and tested to ensure they were only clicking a single time.

Unfortunately this is how I always click in these games, so for the time being I’ll get used to holding the mouse button down, but I’d really appreciate this being fixed as my muscle memory will keep giving me this issue.

Thank you!

I did follow up on this directly with a dev a while back (2022), and provided a potential fix for the issue, and the response was:

I investigated this bad UX personally and found exactly what you described a while back. We do have an on going ticket for it. Unfortunately, since it’s a UX problem and not technically a “bug”, it’s going to be low priority to resolve quickly. I will do my best to try to get eyes on it.

Must’ve slipped through the cracks!

Hello, I`m a new player coming from another ARPG and noticed this too.
Its very annoying.

I can confirm I have this issue also, this is going to upset a lot of PoE players as this type of behaviour works perfectly there.

As the OP showed, this happens when you click (click down and let go) but move your mouse very quickly.

There is also this issue which was closed becasue of no feedback - Double clicking in stashtab?

Reproduction Steps

  • Click on an item (click and release)
  • At the same time quickly drag your mouse cursor somewhere else
  • The item drops itself in a different inventory slot instead of being stuck to the cursor

Expected Results

  • Clicking on an item (click and relase) should hold the item to the cursor.

Bump

Can provide additional information if needed.

Can confirm, this bug is still happening and I’ve made sure my mouse isn’t double clicking.
