1.9.9 - Drag tool: Drag center of mass bug

[Ivan]

Considering that the Drag center of mass option is selected, if the dragged object collides, it starts to rotate around the point the drag tool is attached to. I suggest to make it automatically attach to the center.

Drag tool doesn't affect rotating movement. But the geometry can be rotated by colliding, cannot it?
i.e. it's not bug in my opinion.

I've considered your suggestion carefully and I cannot imagine what happens when you drag the object which center of mass is out of window. Where the cursor goes? or how drag line works?

[Ivan]

The drag line isn't connected to the object's center.

[tatt61880]

The drag line isn't connected to the object's center.

Drag force is strong when line is long.
So, when you dragged large object's corner, the geom moves very fast.
I think this behavior is not so useful than current behavior.

Edit: I re-considered his suggestion. I think users will seldom drag large object's corner/edge with this feature, so this behavior may be better than current behavior.
I support Ivan's suggestion.

This will be improved upon in next release
