Can't seem to click and drag on Mac (by LoganDark)

When I run SolveSpace on Windows, I'm able to click and drag to move objects around on the canvas just fine. But when I run SolveSpace on macOS, I'm not able to click and drag properly; while I'm dragging nothing will move, and then once I release, the object will move a tiny amount.

Mouse or trackpad?

click and drag problem (by Stefan)

This problem started with macOS Tahoe.
I don't know why, but Solvespace 3.0 don't have this issue. I'm using that until a fix come along.

I'm having the same problem with Tahoe + 3.1 stable on an M1 Pro

GL: 2.1 Metal - 90.5

Haven't been able to find any system logs/activity monitor hangups to point towards a thread to pull on just yet.

There is an open issue for this on github here:

https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1625

Definitely a help wanted situation, since we have very few developers and fewer for macOS. I wanted to have version 3.2 final out by year end and now this comes up.

For any developers wanting to take a look, the entirety of Mac code is in one file called guimac.cpp or similar in the platform folder under src.

The latest "edge" builds have fixed this problem. This is very close to what version 3.2 final is going to be and can be found here:

To see what's new or different consult the changelog:
