Description
Expected Behavior
Blocks should conveniently not become permanently attached to your cursor. As I write this, it is hard to see my screen because I now have hundreds of blocks stuck to my cursor (just kidding).
Actual Behavior
The point in direction block can become stuck to your mouse cursor after using the angle picker and then attempting to delete the block.
Steps to Reproduce
- Drag the "point in direction" block onto the workspace
- Click the angle input field to open the angle picker
- Drag the angle picker to change the value
- Click outside to close the angle picker
- Drag the block back to the blocks menu
- It is now stuck to you forever, maybe give it a name and think about what you will need to feed it
- Also note that there is an error in the console (Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '2'))

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the block editor with the point in direction block, angle picker, and blocks menu. Use the reported console error, "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '2')", as the first debugging entry point while tracing angle-picker cleanup and block deletion. Done means the block is removed normally, does not remain attached to the pointer, and the error no longer appears.
