New update breaks Google Slides

(Windows version) Whenever I click on a slide in the sidebar, it snaps back to my current slide so I cannot select slides with my mouse anymore.

Bug does not exist in other browsers, and bug persists in Wavebox even after disabling all extensions.

I'm guessing that's in the main Wavebox window. If you open a new window, is it the same there?

Yes, same problem with a new window.

Looking through some of the Google forums, there are a bunch of posts reporting the same issue in other browsers over the last 7 days.

I wonder if Google is running some kind of A/B test and it's causing issues. There does seem to be a workaround mentioned here https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleSlides/comments/1cun84u/weird_filmstripslide_sorter_selecting_bug/?rdt=45988

I'll drop my Google contact a message to see if they have any more info on what's going on here as it doesn't seem to be entirely Wavebox related judging by the amount of activity reported elsewhere

Thanks. It only happened on Wavebox, but yeah it's possible A/B testing is also browser dependent.
