Moving rotation anchor sticks to cursor - Pen tablet
Windows 10 64bit.
For literally years now, when you use a wacom pen, hold alt to move to the position of an object's rotation anchor, it sticks the anchor to the cursor and there's no way of detaching it unless you minimise and reopen the software.
This has been a problem for more versions than I can count. (We're talking in excess of five years, probably more?) It's happened on different machines and different pen tablets so it's a software problem. Oh how I'd love it to be actually fixed one day!

Okay, steps to reproduce:
1) Select rotation tool
2) Click on the anchor and drag it
3) Anchor is now stuck to your cursorI can get it to release by alt-tabbing away and back and then using a mouse but there's no way to with just the tablet. (Also, if I very carefully tap to move the anchor, rather than dragging it, it doesn't get stuck.)
Specs:
- Wacom PTH-851 (but I've also experienced this with the same gen medium version of this tablet and the previous gen of this tablet) - drivers are up to date but the driver never seems to make a difference to this bug
- Windows 10 64-bit v22H2 (though it's happened with every version of Windows 10 and also Illustrator that I can remember)
- Intel i9-9900K / NVidia 4080 Super / 64GB DDR4 RAM / OS on NVME, Scratch on another NVME
- Backup rescue mouse I keep plugged in almost exclusively for this is Logitech MX Revolution (the original one from years ago) -
Matt, so it does happen for you occasionally? Can you share tech specs for the tablet then? A driver version? OS details?

Oh me too - it's been so long that I have a wave of fear wash over me whenever I touch the 'r' key. Drives me crazy. Used to keep a mouse handy just in case I did it but it appears in the latest version it just won't 'unstick' from the cursor. Had to end the process from Taskman to get out!
