Weird insert loop jumping around

Builder
1

OS (Win10):
PsychoPy version (3.2.3):
Standard Standalone? (n) If not then what?: Anaconda
What are you trying to achieve?:

Lately facing a strange issue in Builder when I try to insert a new loop, the placement of that loop glitches and inserts itself to some other location. This happens across all versions and experiments.

What did you try to make it work?:

My temporary solution is to create a file with a ton of empty loops (where this issue doesn’t occur). So it seems like the addition of components somehow ‘pulls’ the loop location. I say that because it is not random, the loop leg will have a weird systematic glitch towards a certain direction depending on the components near it

Perhaps it’s because I have a touch-screen laptop (surface book) but this hasn’t happened before. And I have made sure to clean the screen etc.

Do you see the same thing with an external mouse attached?

Yes, I usually have an external mouse attached. Makes no difference.

Like I said, it didn’t use to happen.

I believe its a combination of a non-standalone psychopy (got it thorugh pip anaconda) and the recent windows updates.

I was able to fix this & a slew of other strange issues by getting a standalone psychopy version and not using the one through anaconda.
