Hi can anyone tell me the correct blocks to use to stop a sprite drifting after being dropped/released. I have tried “stop all sprites on canvas 1” this doesn’t work thanks ---

I’ve searched extensively about this question and have even had a discussion or two with a couple of the amazing members of this community but still haven’t come to any definitive answers, even though it’s happening to more than just me. I’ve noticed when using the canvas and sprites that on occasion sprites will move on their own when dropped. I’ve set speeds to 0, set to ignore gravity, changed bounce and speed to 0, and set draggability to false and yet nothing works.… ---
