Right click cancel, changed to right click commit move???

Has anyone else noticed this change?  I thought it was a problem with my mouse initially but it appears to be a change made to the chess.com software.  This has caused me so much grief in the last week.  I've been playing bullet chess for a year, hovering over a move only to cancel it with right-click when my opponent makes a different move than expected.  Now it commits my terrible move EVERY TIME.  Can someone please confirm that this behavior has changed on chess.com and isn't the result of a browser update or something similar?

Anyone?

Can't really answer. The only documented use of right-clicking in Live is to cancel premoves.

    Is it because of V3 ?   Its still right click cancel in V2

I don't think the OP is using premoves but hovering a piece over a square and right-clicking to not make that move; i.e. to return the piece to where it came from. My guess is that may have worked in the past but may not have been by design.

Weird. I've done some more testing and it doesn't happen all the time but definitely enough to cause a blunder or two per game.  It has never happened prior to about three weeks ago.  I'm using v3. Might go back to v2 and see what happens. Thanks for checking in guys.

Since I switched over to V3 I have noticed the same thing. It can be a bit frustrating, only sometimes does it commit the move and other times it cancels it.

I'd like to retract my previous comments, it has started to do the same thing for me. It's very frustrating indeed.

i don't know why but it just started happening to me too.

Streamers on ChessTV cancel a move after hovering by moving the piece off the board or to an illegal square before releasing the left mouse button.
