Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity. After reviewing the behavior, we've confirmed it aligns with the current design and intended use of the feature. User action is considered a invalid drag/drop and therefore fallback to previous selection. We understand this may differ from your expectations or workflow. We will close this case as 'As Designed.' If you have feedback on how the feature could better meet your needs, please let us know - we value your input and consider it in future improvements.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new project
In the Hierarchy window, select any GO and drag and drop it to the bottom of the window
Drag any other GO out of the Hierarchy window

Actual results: Hierarchy selection reverts to previously dragged GameObject
Expected results: The selection updates to the GameObject currently being clicked and dragged, and remains on it.

Reproducible with versions: 2023.1.0a3, 6000.5.0b2

Tested on (OS): macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (M4)

Note: Affects both Hierarchy V1 and V2
