Same for me. Am on Android 8.0, tried on both Chrome 75.0.3770.101 and Firefox 67.0.3.  Happens when playing Puzzle Rush and Tactics but not when I'm playing live v another player

This has been going on for over five years now, they won't fix it because they don't care.  Multiple mice, multiple machines, multiple browsers.   It's just stupid.   No other site does this.   I can't be bothered but I bet it would take an experienced JS engineer like two hours to fix...

This is my first paid month - definitely not renewing.

Newly added- give it a try.

Is there a fix for this yet?  My pieces are dropping on miscellaneous squares in games and in puzzle rush and puzzle battle.  I've tried a new mouse, as well as the 'drag only' setting.  Still having pieces drop where I don't intend to place them.

This seems like kind of a big problem.  Hoping there is a fix.

Same problem. On firefox and chrome. Mouse works fine, I can play RTS very accurately. But playing chess must be done through android. Checked on lichess and I experience the same problem there. So not a chess.com specific problem.

This is amazing.   They fixed it.  Joy. 

I renewed my membership.  TY chess.com!   (They even sent me a msg about it being fixed!)

I just started to experience this problem. Pieces drop on random squares when I attempt to make a move by dragging them. How can I fix this?

Yep! Me 2! Every game this problems occurs.
I found a site to test my drag-n-drop functions of the mouse, and it works well there.
And since Jim1 has already tried with different mice, I'm quite sure the reason is to be found elsewhere.
Could someone from chess.com maybe give us an update (or maybe even a solution) to this problem??
