Apple M1 Units - I select items and they always want to move

[Roderick Anderson]

Has anybody noticed this also and found a way to make this behaviour go away?

I select any element (either on plan or 3D view) and if I don't wait for 1-2 seconds after selecting the item, the element will always think I want to move it.  Therefore, if I am trying to work quickly and just select the item and then move the mouse over the the Info Box to edit any settings, the settings will be grayed out because the element is in the middle of a move command !

I've been using Archicad since version 10 and this has now been happening on version 26 and 27, but only if I use any of my Apple M1-equipped Macs.   I use a MacBook Pro and a Mac Studio, both of them with the Apple M1 Max chip and they both behave the same.

Does anyone think of any possible setting in the Work Environment that could help with eliminating this behaviour?  It gets kind of tiring trying to quickly select items, but having to wait a couple seconds after selecting a wall, a slab, an object, etc., because if I don't wait then it'll think I want to move the objects.

Here is the reply from the developers which I've received yesterday night:

Thank you for reaching out. We are aware of this issue. Magnet performance improvements from the last update are in conflict with Archicad non-standard window handling. We are doing our best to submit a fix to the App Store as soon as possible.

Hopefully this fix will arrive soon.:)

The same here! Thanks, saved me from a lot of anger!

Thank for the tip! It works if in settings you deactivate the option Mouse: Snap windows by dragging. The problem magically disappeared 🙂

i can confirm that magnet was the problem for me to.

i used magnet for years.
i guess is a bug caused by the latest os updates.
i had the same problem in AC 27 and AC 28

Works like a charm now. I MO Archicad shouldn't have conflict with Magnet. Developers should check it. 
Managing windows in Sonoma is way from perfect on Mac.

Best

Also running into this. My baselaine is AC27 on M2 Macbook Pro. Recently switched to M4, and both AC27 & 28 giving me this issue. The quick selection magnet seems to want to keep reverting back to its enabled state too which slows things down. But, delay is really getting in the way of speed.

As often happens, I think of something else to try after posting. I went back to an AC default WE and that seemed to solve the issue...in limited testing. I routinely migrate my Workspace Scheme, which in this case, seems to have been the culprit. AC didn't like something in my palette arrangement. I recreated it from scratch, and things seem to be working better again. Hope this helps someone one day.

In the Work Environment is this option that affects how you click with the mouse.

Thanks Barry...

I've always had that setting set to CAD-like. It was something in my Workspace Scheme that it did not like. Just did a test, and now I feel a bit silly, but I started keeping the "Element Information" palette up a little while ago. I think this is causing a pause as it kicks back the information on each element that I select. Now that I have removed it from my Workspace Scheme, it seems to work as expected again.
