(Feature Request)

I don't use drag'n'drop for anything, but one annoyance is that if I'm resizing windows and I hit the edge of a screen, it cancels the mouse down and the mouse jumps to another screen. Would be good if I could disable this, and if the mouse is being held down, not to switch screens.

This would also improve the experience of interacting with scroll view sliders that are on the border of two displays, which has the same problem.

+1 scroll bars issue

EDIT: After reviewing the code and realizing drag-n-drop overrides this lock, and then realizing there's an option to disable it...

Configure Server... -> Advanced server settings -> Uncheck "Enable drag and drop..." -> Ok -> Reload. 😃
