VW has always been picky about dragging past the edge of the screen. You have to stay within the edge do the drawing window at least if you are working with Use Application Windows turned on.

 

You need to be within the ruler bar (about 3/16 inch / 3 mm) of the edge to get the window to scroll. If you drag outside of the drawing window VW assumes you want to make a palette selection or something similar.

Due to the introduction of Multiple View Panes, it may be a little harder to get to that "sweet spot" where VW will scroll. This is something we are aware of and working on. We are trying to find the perfect balance in order to allow users to move between View Panes but also move the cursor out of the drawing area to scroll. Hopefully we can fix this for you!

VW 2023 - any update on this drag to move screen behaviour?  It's still requiring to precisely locate the mouse at that tiny sweet spot in order to trigger this behaviour.

======

UPDATE / WORKAROUND FOR WINDOWS USERS:

If this works for you guys, you are gonna ROFLYAO:  So, I was checking to see if there was a modifier key that would toggle on / off this drag-to-move screen function/behaviour and accidentally tapped the Windows (Start) key and tapped it again to make the Windows Start menu disappear and low and behold, it now behaves as it did in VW 2018! 

 

Although you have to slowly move your mouse completely "off the screen"  (vs precisely placing the mouse at that specific sweet spot) while dragging (be it a selection window or while drawing a shape), the screen now moves/scrolls in the direction of your mouse.

 

Wish Nemetschek would just fix this already!
