Description
Previously, copied/duplicated blocks followed the cursor until placed. Now they drop in place or duplicate immediately instead of following the mouse. A behavioral regression from upstream Blockly.

Review the linked Scratch discussions for expected behavior; done means blocks follow the cursor until placement rather than dropping or duplicating immediately.
