Description

In version 4.4.6, the mouse leaves the draggable component.

When not to use state

import { useRef } from "react";
import Draggable from "react-draggable";
import "./App.css";

function App() {
  const nodeRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);

  return (
    <Draggable handle={`.handler`} nodeRef={nodeRef}>
      <div ref={nodeRef} style={{ width: "500px" }}>
        <div className="handler" style={{ backgroundColor: "gray" }}>
          React Draggable 4.4.6
        </div>
        <div>Body</div>
      </div>
    </Draggable>
  );
}

export default App;

When to use states

import { useCallback, useRef, useState } from "react";
import Draggable, { DraggableData, DraggableEvent } from "react-draggable";
import "./App.css";

function App() {
  const nodeRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const [position, setPosition] = useState({ x: 0, y: 0 });

  const handleDrag = useCallback((e: DraggableEvent, data: DraggableData) => {
    setPosition({ x: data.x, y: data.y });
    console.log(data);
  }, []);

  return (
    <Draggable
      handle={`.handler`}
      nodeRef={nodeRef}
      position={position}
      onDrag={handleDrag}
    >
      <div ref={nodeRef} style={{ width: "500px" }}>
        <div className="handler" style={{ backgroundColor: "gray" }}>
          React Draggable 4.4.6
        </div>
        <div>Body</div>
      </div>
    </Draggable>
  );
}

export default App;

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied App component with the Draggable entry point, comparing 4.4.6 against 4.4.5; the examples use App.css and both uncontrolled and state-controlled cases. Trace the handle and nodeRef behavior, then verify that dragging remains effective and that the state example still logs and updates position.
