Text Elements move around randomly when repositioning
I have been having a lot of trouble moving text elements in recent updates. I'm on 4.5.1250800846 revision 603eca8. I've uploaded a quick unlisted YouTube video showing that this even happens in a brand new score.
As soon as I move a text element of any kind just a little bit, it tends to go zooming across the page. System text, staff text, expression, all kinds of text. This is kind of infuriating and I would like to either see this patched or have help with something that can prevent this on my end.
Thank you for your time.

Don't worry. it is easier to use the net than “ in-house” research.

Quick temporary fix from the aforementioned issue tracker, in case anyone else stumbles on this before the update:
If I hold Control (on Mac, probably Alt on Windows?) before clicking the text and dragging it, it will not "re-anchor" the text (the sensitivity of which is causing this problem). I hope that helps anyone.

To move these texts, the simplest and most effective solution for everyone (all OS) is to use the arrow keys
