Bug(?): Move object (in Draft) does not select the correct offset

[PinkBlender]

Hello,

Reproduce (does not always work):
- Draft workbench
- Select moving tool
- Click corner of object
- (Strangely does only mark the corner at first)
- Click corner again
- Moving motion starts, but offset of object is wrong.
Edit: - And clicking a destination point will not move the object. Rather, it will select the object at the destination point.

I uploaded a video showing the behaviour:

Also, I attached the project I was working with.

Edit: Moving apparently only works properly, if you do the following steps
- Select Object to move from model
- Select Moving tool
- <do the other steps>

I believe every one of your posts belongs in the Help forum, not Open Discussion.

As stated in my other post: I am not trying to solve this specific problem. I am trying to point out a problem with the ease of use / software behaviour.

regards.

To move the short wall you should move the Sketch from which it is created (Sketch004), or you should move the Body named wall005. You may want to use Draft WB > Snaps too.

I'm sorry but you are simply doing it incorrectly. I have wonder if you might have experience using some other software and maybe you expect FreeCAD to behave like that?

Ok what I gather is the move tool works correctly (understands the offset given by the Part container), but the "ghost" (the temporary shape that gets drawn while moving) not. Which is strange, because it's a direct copy of the object's coin node. It should theoretically appear at the same place... I need to investigate more, I don't really know how the coin stuff is implemented in Part containers

In any case it's just cosmetic, the actual shape movement seems to work correctly
