Avoiding Unintentional Changes to Selected Objects
i have found when selecting an object, intentionally or accidentally, almost always, the slightest mouse tremor makes an unintentional Move to the object

in fact, i have found it very difficult to select an object, WITHOUT accidentally moving the object

which is really frustrating in two ways - 1. if i don't notice, then my painstaking work setting position and size is screwed; 2. if i DO notice, i have to waste a lot of time to set it make to the position and size it was (unless Undo works - which i am constantly having to do most times i try to simply just Select an object)

is there some setting to fix this, is there some trick to it, is there some mouse setting that would help?

Re: Avoiding Unintentional Changes to Selected Objects
Bumping this 2 year old thread... have the same issue trying to box-select objects, because it seems like "Move" has precedence over "Select" when you click and drag the mouse. I feel like "Move" should only be enabled if there is already an object selected.

Many drawing software work like that. Is it so difficult to click on an object without moving the mouse?
