this happened for 2+ years (i believe it’s intended behavior), you can just press r or t themselves while dragging (keep in mind that it acts differently and it rotates on the surface, so it may annoy you)
Wow you just blew my mind with the R and T alone. I never knew that lol. As for that behavior happening for the past 2+ years, that is not true for my experience. I am a frequent builder, and this behavior is new to me as of two or so days ago. What I do find interesting is that R and T alone behave as expected whereas Ctrl + R and Ctrl + T does not.
As mentioned above, not a bug: The intended behavior is to use just T / R while dragging without the Ctrl. An upcoming set up dragger changes will offer hotkey help on what actions are available while dragging clarifying this.
Long term we can look at unifying these or at least stopping Ctrl+T from doing anything during a drag but they’ve always had slightly different behaviors.
