How do I disable the node-grabbing?

[LogWhat1]

Sometimes when I'm doing something in-game, I move my mouse and it recongizes it as node-grabbing. My vehicle is then instantly flung across the map. It annoys me. How do I turn it off?

Hi,

This may seem unrelated, but , do you play in windowed mode? and do you sometimes switch away from/minimize RoR by clicking on its icon on the taskbar, or outside its window?

I had a look on the forums and in the ror.cfg file and I saw nothing that could help with your question, but maybe someone else will know.

Oh I think that's what caused it. Better play in FS more.

I also play in windowed mode and used to often send my vehicles flying accidentally because of this.

You can use ALT+TAB to switch away from the window, and it won't happen when you switch back to RoR.

From the linked issue:

It seems when switching to another window, the "mouse down" click event gets captured in RoR but the "mouse up" event isn't, as it is no longer the active window. When returning to RoR, it seems to think the left mouse button is held down, and when hovering the mouse over the car, it grabs it.
