Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. Drag a custom code component into the page.
  2. The modal should open automatically, else double click the custom code component in the preview.
  3. Click and hold inside the modal then drag your mouse outside the modal and release the click.
  4. The modal closes.

What is the expected behavior? Seems to me the modal should only close on a full click event outside the modal.

What is the current behavior? The modal seems to be closing on just a mouseup event.

I took a look in the modal files and don't see a quick answer of why this is happening. The modal events all seems to be 'click' events... or at least they are labelled as such.
