[2.1.7] Select for blueprints blocked by Drag map in remote view

Post by MRX8024 »

-What did you do?
Bind both "Drag map" and "Select for blueprints" to left-click. Enter remote view and activate the copy/blueprint selection tool, then try to select an area containing entities.

-What happened?
The "Drag map" action keeps priority over "Select for blueprints". Dragging with left-click moves the map instead of creating a selection area, making it impossible to select entities for copying in remote view.

-What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
In version 2.0.77, activating the copy/blueprint selection tool caused "Select for blueprints" to take priority over "Drag map", allowing entities to be selected normally. I expected the same behavior in 2.1.

-Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always.

Thanks.

Do you have "build" re-bound to not-left-click? If so, this is a duplicate of 134181
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Yes, it looks like a duplicate; I have `build` and `mine` swapped. Thanks.
