In Power BI service Edit mode, when I try to click a check box or drag a field from the Data pane to Visualization or filter, the cursor jumps to the last place it was. I have to click on the header and then click without attempting an action and then once it is highlighted I can drag it. It will jump once but then I can scroll back and click or drag it. I have tried different mouses, different browswers and even different laptops and I still have the same issue. Is there something in my settings?
Thanks for any help!

Hi, @eesmith38
Thank you for your feedback!
Regarding the problem you are experiencing, I have tested it. We need to click and hover a bit before the mouse drags the field, then it will drag the field normally. If it does it too quickly, it may not select the field we need to drag.
I hope my help is effective.
If you still encounter other problems during the operation, please contact us in time, and also please give us detailed feedback on the problem, we will try our best to solve the problems you encountered.
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
Fen Ling,
