1.10.153598 - Dragged item position offset from mouse cursor when dragging in inventory
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

When dragging items in the inventory, I've noticed that the position of the items during dragging is sometimes offset quite significantly from the position of the mouse cursor. If you drag the item from the "Equipment" box (or "Vicinity" box), the item position during dragging works as expected. However, if you drag the item from its own container box, below the "Equipment"/"Vicinity" box, the item position during dragging is not the same as the mouse cursor.

I have observed this behavior confusing some Twitch DayZ streamers, especially when dragging the items into containers, because the item being dragged does not line up correctly with the grid inside the container box.

I have recorded a short video demonstrating the problem, here: https://youtu.be/8zwduD68So4

In this video, you will see me:

  1. Drag my shirt from the "Equipment" box, showing the expected behavior (the mouse cursor and item position are the same during dragging)
  2. Drag my shirt from the container box, showing the bug behavior. Notice how the top-left corner of the shirt box is hundreds of pixels to the right of the mouse cursor during dragging
  3. Drag my pants from the "Equipment" box, showing the expected behavior.
  4. Drag my pants from the container box, showing the bug behavior.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Choose an item in inventory to drag. It needs to be an item of clothing or a a container (backpack, vest, etc.) that the player wears.
  2. Find the item's container box.
  3. Drag the item by clicking and holding the item's box title and moving the mouse
  4. The item will be dragged, but its position on screen will be offset noticeably from the mouse cursor position

Expected behavior:

The item's position during dragging should be such that the top-left corner of the item is the same as the mouse cursor position.

Additional Information

This issue has been around for quite some time, so I was surprised to not find an existing bug matching the description. My apologies if an existing bug does exist and I missed it.
