Right click no longer cancels a move while holding left mouse button

Hello,

A few weeks ago this started. I used to be able to drag a piece by holding the left mouse button, then right-click while still holding left mouse button to make it cancel the move. Now it doesn't do this anymore. I've done quite a few wrong moves because I drag a piece, think "No I don't want to do this", right click thinking it will move back to its original position, release left mouse button and accidently play a bad move.

Is this a setting that was changed? Is there no way to get this back?

I don't think what you were doing was designed to work that way. Premoves get cancelled by right-clicks, not moves in progress.

I've used dragging the piece off the board or an illegal square in similar instances for it to reset to the appropriate square.

I know there's no setting for what you're describing

Perhaps I've been abusing a bug and it may have been fixed at some point within the last few weeks. Still kinda sad because now I just keep making wrong moves sad.png.

I am experiencing the same thing. I recently switched browsers, from Google Chrome to Vivaldi. In Chrome, I still am able to right click-cancel a move! It felt like a great feature! In Vivaldi, this feature (bug?) doesn't exist and I am making so many horrible mistakes as a result. If it really is just a bug, I think it'd be a great feature to include. It's a super easy, intuitive, and fluid way to cancel a move.
