Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/7567

What happened?

When I try to edit the Notes field for a transaction that's on the same day as another transaction, I can no longer use the mouse to move the cursor within the text field or highlight text. Clicking doesn't do anything, and dragging to select a chunk of text just activates the drag-and-drop functionality introduced in #6653 .

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Open a specific account.
  2. Create two transactions on the same day.
  3. Input some text into the Notes field for one of the transactions.
  4. While editing the Notes field, click in the middle of the text field.
  5. Nothing happens. The position of the cursor should change to where I clicked, but it doesn't.
  6. While editing the Notes field, click and drag over a range of text.
  7. The entire transaction gets picked up by the mouse for reordering with other transactions. While I'm actively editing the text field, clicking and dragging within that field should select a range of text like normal.

I'm still seeing this issue where you try to highlight the text and it picks up and drags the entire transaction. Maybe this fix was overwritten by a later merge?

@Craigeniah You have to use the edge build as this fix has not made it to a release yet

Thanks for the info, I wondered if it was something like that, but I hadn't traced it down yet. Appreciate it!
