How to disable moving actors in viewport by left mouse click

Sometimes when selecting actors with the left mouse button the actors are moved. How can this be disabled?

Hello @unit23 ,
If I didn’t misunderstand, here are two possible solutions to prevent actors from being moved accidentally:

the first one is Use Selection Mode
Switch to Selection Mode from the arrow icon in the top-left corner of the viewport or by pressing Q.
In this mode, left-click only selects the actor and does not move it, even if you drag the mouse.

and the second one is Lock the actor movement
Select the actor and right-click → Lock Actor Movement.
The actor will remain selectable, but it will not be possible to move, rotate, or scale it.

Hope it helps!

Thank you for pointing this out, but I would prefer a setting to disable movement involving mouse clicks entirely. Every so often when selecting several meshes the left mouse click is moving them. An AI search mentioned a drag move editor interface setting, but couldn’t find.
