Lately, I'm having a lot of difficulties dragging distances. Selecting them is fine. I'm not entirely sure if it's because I unlearned some movement that happens to work better, or simply because my designs are getting more crowded.

When trying to drag a distance, I typically aim first for the text. If that doesn't work, I try to get the line(s) to the item being sized.

Perhaps the dragging function could, when deciding what to do with the drag movement, give preference to the item already selected.
