Not A Bug: HA city movements

[RedRed]

Summary of the issue (title of the post):
While moving in my city with HA active, wrong movements happens
Overview of the bug (description):
Don't know exactly how to reproduce it but moving in my city (left-click and drag) sometimes the location "goes back on the movement line" to another location and the end location goes to the initial location.
Steps to reproduce:
For me it's easier to reproduce moving the city on the bottom-left/top-right diagonal movement, but I've noticed the issue in any direction.
Reproduction rate (Every time? Sometimes?):

This always happens to me, if while dragging my city around, I move my cursor outside of my city (on to menu, top section, side bar) and let go, it will bounce back

You are right

Thank you for posting this!
I have tried several times to reproduce this, but with no result. Any additional comments on this flaw are welcome!!!

Can't seem to replicate this either. Maybe it was fixed by now?

Unfortunately, not

Then can you give me another run down of how to replicate this bug? I tried clicking and dragging from everywhere (50+ times), and only got this problem once (or at least I think it did).

I can identify two different issues...
1) a snap effect, while you drag the city over the menus;
2) the "go-back" effect;

As for the first issue, you can see it by moving slowly from somewhere in the city to the address bar of the browser; in the same way if you have the browser as "floating window" and you move the city from the right to left through the games menu/players bar you can see it when the mouse leave the browser area on the right side (look at this video). This happens also if you move diagonally the city through the players' bar or also if you have two monitors with the browser on the right, when the mouse goes from the right to the left monitor (through a menu).
With HA disabled, the drag ends when you leave the city area.

As for the second issue, sometimes happens but I've not yet found a reason...

Thank you for your walkthrough and video (and correct bug report )! Managed to replicate both bugs, and I will now mark this confirmed!

An update; finally I've found the way to reproduce the "go-back" effect; happens when the previous drag ends over a menu (as described by silverdragon, in the end).

1) HA active
2) drag the city moving the mouse from the map to a game menu, then mouse up over the menu (top bar, bottom menu, left or right "icons wallets", doesn't matter)
3) move the mouse again over the map
4) button down to drag again the city, and move a little the mouse ---> the bug!!!

> video

Here the "snap effect" is triggered by the second drag, while if you move the drag over a menu and you end the drag outside the menu is triggered immediately.

hope this helps

Fixed for me
