Description

Have seen this across our editors.
User will somehow get themselves into a state where they cannot drop the block they had selected.
It follows the cursor around the screen.
This may be a Blockly bug?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sticky-block behavior in the affected editors and compare the linked pxt-minecraft, pxt-microbit, and pxt-arcade issues. The payload names no source files or tests; done should mean a selected block can be dropped normally and the behavior is verified across the affected editors.
