Can no longer quickly move object without it showing as selected and context menu appearing

HI @Janani Hariharasubramanian  Sounds totally cool and awesome to me!  I would just tweak one word in your excellent answer to make it even more good: “. . . where you need to move objects around frequently.”  For me frequent is not the situation - but “objects that are close together.”  Anytime an object is moved and the bar can cover up other objects, that’s the problem.

By coincidence I just sat down today to do some Miro slides . . . and I never realized just how inconvenient this was until now, I’d say it slowed down my productivity quite a bit. Here’s an example:

I have to say - the WONDERFUL thing about Miro is the sheer usability compared to tools like PowerPoint - it would take anyone 10x more time to do a slide like this in PowerPoint, so even though people sing Miro praises about collaboration, for me it’s really CONTENT CREATION where it truly shines!

@Janani Hariharasubramanian - Thank you for replying!

Similar to @Kenneth Ritley‘s comments, the biggest challenge this change presents is that the context menu covers information on other items when I move them within close proximity of each other.

Aside from being visually unappealing during solo work, this poses a problem when I share my screen. I frequently rearrange items and bring new ones into view to highlight relationships or capture conversations for real-time documentation and feedback. During these actions, the context menu constantly appears unnecessarily. I don't need it open, and I'm not consistently closing it. I've even tried leaving it open when moving away from a selected item, but it persists on-screen even when that item is outside the viewport (almost a separate issue, but related to the unwanted context menu).

I have many more examples and would be happy to take you up on your offer to discuss this further on a call. I'll DM you to arrange a time.

Thanks again for reaching out! 🙏💛

​@Eca - I just landed on this post to share, but you beat me to it!

This. Is. AMAZING!

Even through some ups-and-down, and the holiday break, Miro listened and did NOT forget about this. I am just in awe and full of tears of joy! 🙏💛

Brilliant! I’ve tested and it’s much better. Thanks for listening and acting on our feedback.

This is a HUGE improvement, thank you!

I would still love to disable the menu bar feature altogether, since I work with students, and if they click on the sticky but decide not to move it, there is still the distraction. But it’s definitely better than before! Thank you for being responsive.
