Can't drag and drop objects in the explorer

Bug Reports Studio Bugs

This bug happens in every studio I open regardless of the game.

I have Windows 10 computer.

No beta features are enabled.

Although you can’t see my mouse in the image, I was holding down my mouse on the object and then moved it up to change the parent, but nothing happens.

Expected behavior

Whenever I hold down my mouse and then move it, as one would do to drag an object in the explorer window, the object doesn’t follow my mouse and just stays highlighted. The only way I can change parents is through the properties window, which is incredibly annoying to do.

I do not experience this issue. Try restarting studio and see if the issue persists?

Can you take a picture of your whole Studio setup and also provide your monitor’s DPI/scaling settings?

Is this what you asked for?

I’ve tried deleting the roblox studio key in regedit, restarting studio, restarting my pc, deleting and then installing roblox studio but none have worked.

are you using the next gen studio beta? I am not and I do not have the issue

7

How would I check that through roblox studio?

8

File > Beta Features > scroll to the next gen studio preview option and see if the checkbox is ticked

Would this be the option that you are talking about? I don’t have it enabled.

Correct.
Have you changed any studio settings from default, i.e. any relating to editing?

No, this problem started after I updated roblox studio a couple days ago and I haven’t touched any setting since.

Hello! Would you be able to send a video of the bug?

13

Here is the video. It’s just whenever I try to drag an object in the explorer it doesn’t allow me to.

14

Could you send some screenshots of your mouse properties? Is there anything in there that might be different than the defaults?

Also are you still able to box select?

Thank you for providing this information as I was able to deduce the issue regarding my roblox studio problem.

Here an image that relates to the root cause of the issue:

As you can see, I mainly use the right mouse button as my primary button similar to how a left handed person would.

Then when I switch my primary button to the left mouse button, as a right handed person would normally use the mouse, I am able to drag and drop objects again.

Is it possible to make it so that the drag and drop property within the explorer window allows me to use the right mouse button to drag and drop?

I found a work around to be able to use right mouse button to drag and drop by changing my mouse settings through its software since it’s a logitec mouse, but not every has a mouse that comes with dedicated software.

Thanks for all the details on the root cause! We’ll look into getting a fix so it’ll work with just the system setting - will post an update here once it’s ready

Translator: I’m having the same problem, but in my case, it’s because I use the main mouse click on the right, so I can’t drag when it’s set to the right. When I switch back to the left click in the Windows 11 settings, I can drag normally again. This problem occurred after an update of my studio, no changes in configuration, downloading anything else, plugins, etc.

^^^ basically the same for me.

Hello! A fix for this is now live on the latest Studio, so Explorer drag should work if you switch your mouse buttons in the Windows settings. Please let us know if you continue having issues with it
