Or even reload the page as long as the deploy button hadn’t been clicked.

This is a solution virtually no one asked for…

Please at least make it optional, so I can have it how it used to be 🙏

Feedback received. We will either revert, or add an option.

I have raised [Add option to restore click-outside-edit-tray behaviour · Issue #5247 · node-red/node-red · GitHub](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/5247) to action something for 4.1.1.

I’m going to lock this topic now as it doesn’t need more ‘me too’ comments.
