ID 63387 - Unable to manipulate floating nodes within the Node Graph tab

Problem summary:

When creating nodes in KATANA's Node Graph tab, by default, they initially appear as floating, meaning they can be moved together with the pointer when moving the pointer across the Node Graph tab, until they are placed when pressing the left mouse button.

When importing nodes from a KATANA project using the following Python code, the imported nodes appear in a floating state in the Node Graph tab, but cannot be moved:

KatanaFile.Import(filename, floatNodes=True)

The same is true when executing the following Python code to manually set a node to a floating state:

NodegraphAPI.SetNodeFloating(node, True)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a Render node.
2. Run the following line in a Python tab:

   • 
     NodegraphAPI.SetNodeFloating(NodegraphAPI.GetNode('Render'), True)

Expected behaviour:

The Render node should be floating in the Node Graph tab, meaning it should be moved with the pointer when moving the pointer across the Node Graph tab, until it is placed by pressing the left mouse button.

Actual behaviour:

The Render node appears in a floating state in the Node Graph tab, but cannot be moved.

Workaround:

When creating another node in the Node Graph tab, it will be added as a floating node, and all floating nodes become interactively movable.
