What Hacker News says
8 sourcesThe issue already seems to be there[0], but honestly I immediately resorted to using the arrows to move the pieces around and from there on out it didn't disturb me anymore.
I'm really glad you're putting such an emphasis on beginner friendliness though, that's really cool!

In LeoCAD 21.03> Except for the stuff with the rotation, that was a little hiccup for me
Please, report any issues to issues tracker.[0]

In LeoCAD 21.03> why is it that when you rotate a brick, the x,y,z movement also rotates with it?
Hardly to say what exactly you mean without seeing some sreenrecord.
I may just guess that you should learn a little about "Relative" and "Absolute" coordinates in LeoCAD (see menu "Edit > Transform", "Transform" buttons on main toolbar and on "Properties" widget).[0]
> That makes no sense - surely it's a bug?
I'm not sure.
UPD: Follow related issue thread[1]; alternatively use rotation arrows[3] for rotate (click on each rotation arrow with mouse and move it)

In LeoCAD 21.03> I don’t have the context of knowing what the software is or what it does
If someone don't know something Google always may explain it.
If you go to GitHub release page and don't know what it is, just jump to project main page on GitHub.[0]
