The "Hand" desktop tool was used in Flash to quickly pan the desktop around. To do this, you could drag anywhere, even devices and controls. In Next, or Studio, "Hand" seems to behave exactly like "Pointer"; dragging devices or controls will move or change them, respectively, instead of panning the desktop.

Hand tool seems to work fine, except it doesn't move your view when you try to do it on a synth and it doesn't move the synth either.
Are you sure you are using the hand tool? This sounds exactly like how the pointer tool should behave
"except it doesn't move your view when you try to do it on a synth and it doesn't move the synth either." Well, that's precisely the problem, isn't it? The hand tool is supposed to pan the desktop regardless of where you click: devices, controls, whatever. And yes, I'm sure I'm using the hand tool. And yes, as I said above, it behaves like the pointer tool.
I honestly cannot say if the hand tool was working properly before that update. I just found about it now.
I can't seem to get the hand tool to drag devices
No, it doesn't, but that's the point. It should pan the desktop instead of getting stuck on the device. It also changes controls, which is not supposed to. In any case, the point is that it's not doing what it should.
'"Hand" seems to behave exactly like "Pointer"; dragging devices or controls will move or change them' You said the hand tool moves devices ;)
Sorry, my bad. It doesn't move devices. But it still doesn't pan the desktop, like it's supposed to.
Yes, just tested it now and it's working. Thanks a lot! :)
