Up to version 4.4.0.3, Draw would allow you to freely drag objects around the page. If you wanted to constrain the drag operation to horizontal/vertical, you could hold down the key. Now it seems to be reversed, so I’m having to constantly hold down . I need unconstrained dragging the vast majority of the time, so this is really painful. Was this a deliberate change? If so, is there a way to toggle it off?
Version 4.4.0.3, EN-GB, Draw, Mac OS 10.10.2 English (UK)
Tools->Options->LibreOffice Draw->Grid
“Snap position”, disable “When creating or moving objects”
That option is turned off. The problem occurs whether this option is on or off.
It appears that this was a bug. I just downloaded the latest version (4.4.1.2) and this problem is gone.
