Interesting. I didn’t realize that Tweak Mode would affect objects in that way. 
It’s supposed to be primarily for components. Apparently it has the same 
behavior as “click drag select” when operating on an object.

Does the unwanted behavior go away when you turn Tweak off? You can call Tweak 
Mode any time as a hot command by holding down the ` key so that way it remains 
off only until you explicitly call it. But it would seem that they need to add 
an option to restrict Tweak to just the selection types the user would want 
affected. Hierarchy, Object, and/or Component for example.

I'm a stupid, I had tweak mode on.

Still that's another annoying thing though. I don't want tweak to move my 
objects just like Softimage's M key.
I guess I'll have to live with that or maybe write an event script.

If you are saying that it is still behaving like “click drag select” with it

Err nope, it didn't work... I knew I've tried that before.

That option only worked when I'm using wireframe and try to select a polymesh 
and don't click on any wireframe.
In shaded mode it still moves my objects if I do a drag.

This behavior occurs with mouse or pen tablet, the only difference is that with 
a pen it is more common to do a long click (drag) without noticing.

[Ponthieux, Joseph G. (LARC-E1A)[LITES II]]

So this only happens when you are using pen tablet with a stylus? Is there a 
particular brand and model?

Also, does it do this in a new scene with basic primitives?

Finally, open Preferences, Settings, Selection. Is the option “Click drag 
select” on? If so turn it off and try that.

AFAIK those options are to change the selection range, like a bounding box.

The problem here is that when you click select with move tool (translate tool) 
and don't do it with a perfect single click, but drag it just a little, you'll 
end up moving your object. This is specially annoying when using a pen tablet.

Never found a solution for this. I've just got used to change to selection tool 
or drag-select like rectangle selection all the time.

Yes Martin ! that is exactly it, it is really difficult to put into words,

You need to look in your selection preferences.

Re: OT Maya: (Please god tell me i'm not alone with this)

[Sebastien Sterling]

No, it's not snapping.

is there some kind of radius sensibility setting ?

also i use a tablet, does maya have some dedicated settings or parameters
for tablets, that i am not seeing ?

Am really hoping this isn't just the regular workflow. does anyone else
"HAVE" to use marquee selections with the transformation tools, to prevent
maya from nudging things out of there initial position or wild falling
rotations? or to stop it selecting anything remotely close to your intended
selection ?

It's a nightmare. makes every process longer, and i find myself triple
checking everything to make sure maya hasn't sneakily popped anything away
from its initial position.

Living in fear of a program :(

I have no render tree and i must scream !

I see, I don't know any setting to change this behaviour or solution other
than use drag select instead of click select when you are using move or
rotation tools for selection, or use the selection tool.

I find this annoying when using tweaking for components, if I lack
precision I end up moving the object. In this case I usually lock
translation attributes but in your case I don't think this would be a good
solution.

[Sebastien Sterling]

This occurs when using the translate rotation or scale tools/manipulators,
not the regular selection tool, the one with the cursor symbol is fine.
