Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the listed Scale workflow: move the view to the top-left output region, keep the mouse pressed, and toggle Scale off. Trace the Scale activation and mouse-release state handling to find why the view remains stuck. Done means the view recovers its current configuration state without requiring Scale to be activated again.
