I am trying to use a LocatorPane with multiple locators using the LocatorAutoCreate parameter.
But I would also like to set AutoAction-> True, so that when the mouse is over the locator, it automatically moves with the mouse. those. works like a drag and drop.
Basically, I'm trying to just use the LocatorPane drag and drop function and don't want to use the LocatorPane click function, as it complicates something else that I'm doing.
i.e. I just want to be able to just drag the points through the locator panel. Clicking on locatorPane should do nothing. One way to do this is to set AutoAction-> True. Is there a better way to turn off the effect of clicking on LocatorPane?
The problem is that when I have more than one locator, the Mathematica kernel is reset immediately.
So, I ask if there is a way to use AutoAction-> True with LocatorPane with lots of LocatorAutoCreator at the same time. Or, if there is a way to just drag and drop, and clicking should not do anything.
Here is an example
LocatorPane[{{0,0},{.4,.5}}, Graphics[{Gray,Disk[]}], AutoAction->True, LocatorAutoCreate->{1,5}]
Make sure you save your work before starting the above, as it will crash Mathematica when the mouse moves over the panel.

Update:
FYI; Today I received a response from WRI technical support. The issue was reproduced and sent to the Mathematica development team for investigation.
