[BUG] Sudden Ability to Click and Drag in Direct Modeling

All of a sudden, in direct modeling, any time I mistakenly click a body and my mouse moves a small amount the body will move and mess up my assembly.  See attached screenshot for an exaggerated example of what can happen when multiple people are doing this while working on an assembly.  Having to create and delete rigid groups or joints is not an acceptable solution as it adds previously unnecessary steps to the workflow.  I'd like to request that this recent change either be reverted or have the option to be disabled in the settings.

It sounds like "Component Drag" is enabled in your design.  You can disable it with this setting in the Select menu:
