Description

Describe the bug

In MS3 you could easily restrain dragging to the vertical by using SHIFT, and to the horizontal by using Ctrl. However, this now causes the object to be reset to the default position.

To Reproduce

  1. Open a score and add a text object to a note.
  2. Shift drag the text object upwards.
  3. Now Ctrl drag the object sideways.
    RESULT: As soon as you try to move the object it reverts to the default position.
  4. Reset the object and use Ctrl drag to move the object sideways.
  5. Now use Shift drag to move the object up.
    RESULT: As soon as you try to move the object it reverts to the default position.

Expected behavior

Shift / Ctrl drag should act seamlessly as they did in MS3.
