[5.x]: Elements are selected when interacting with structure move/drag handles #17461

Description

Not sure when this began occurring, but I noticed lately that at some point there appears to have been at least a partial regression for #14669, where Craft will select elements being moved in a structured element index using the structure move/drag handles. And vice-versa, if the user interacts with the drag handles for an element row that is already selected, that element will become de-selected.

This feels like unintended behaviour, as authors' intention when interacting with the drag handles is almost certainly never to select or deselect the element, just to move it.

CleanShot.2025-06-17.at.20.01.19.mp4

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have a structure, with some elements in it
  2. Click and drag the structure move/drag handles to re-order the elements
  3. Notice that the element rows' selected state is toggled every time the drag handles are interacted with

Expected behavior

Clicking and dragging elements using their structure drag handles should not affect the element row's selected state.

Actual behavior

Clicking and dragging elements using the structure drag handles will toggle the element row's selected state.
