Regardless of where you click \u0026 drag, every annotation and the legend is moved. This is identical to #30303 which has been closed.\n\n### Code for reproduction\n\n```Python\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport numpy as np\n\n# Sample data\nx = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)\ny1 = np.sin(x)\ny2 = np.cos(x)\n\nfig, ax = plt.subplots()\nline1, = ax.plot(x, y1, label='sin(x)')\nline2, = ax.plot(x, y2, label='cos(x)')\n\n# Add a draggable legend\nlegend = ax.legend()\nlegend.set_draggable(True)\n\n# Add a draggable annotation\nann = ax.annotate(\n 'Peak', xy=(np.pi/2, 1), xytext=(np.pi/2+1, 1.2),\n arrowprops=dict(facecolor='black', shrink=0.05),\n bbox=dict(boxstyle=\"round,pad=0.3\", fc=\"yellow\", alpha=0.5)\n)\nann.draggable(True)\n\nplt.title('Draggable Legend and Annotation')\nplt.show()\n```\n\n### Actual outcome\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/147de8f6-1af2-44bc-91cc-acfbf4c16e79\n\n### Expected outcome\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1dda47ab-9da4-4780-a739-e05658b9921d\n\n### Additional information\n\nThis problem happens with matplotlib version 3.10.3 and does not exist with version 3.10.1. I am using qtagg as backend (PySide6 version 6.9.1).\n\n### Operating system\n\nWindows-11-10.0.26100-SP0\n\n### Matplotlib Version\n\n3.10.3\n\n### Matplotlib Backend\n\nqtagg\n\n### Python version\n\n3.13.5\n\n### Jupyter version\n\n_No response_\n\n### Installation\n\npip","author":{"url":"https://github.com/kaktus018","@type":"Person","name":"kaktus018"},"datePublished":"2025-07-31T16:12:28.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/30378/matplotlib/issues/30378"}
