Dragging a Window Affects Other Windows When Multiple Are Open
Issue:
When two or more layers of windows (e.g. modals, overlays, or panels) are open in the editor, dragging one window can unintentionally cause other windows to move as well. This leads to unexpected behavior and UI glitches.
✅ Steps to Reproduce
Open multiple draggable windows in the editor (e.g., Inspector + Insert Panel or a modal + nested dialog)
Try to drag the topmost window
Observe that other windows may also move or jump with it
🤔 Expected Behavior
Dragging should only affect the specific window being interacted with. Other windows should remain in place unless explicitly selected and dragged.
🚨 Actual Behavior
Dragging one window sometimes results in:
Multiple windows moving together
Positioning conflicts between overlapping windows
Incorrect z-index handling
⚠️ Impact
Medium – causes usability frustration and layout instability when managing multiple tool panels or modals.
✅ Suggested Fix
Ensure each window has isolated drag behavior
Prevent drag propagation between stacked or nested windows
Verify z-index and pointer event handling to isolate interactions
