Level Creator is broken (Chrome & Edge)

[faucomte97]

Describe the bug
A handful of users have reported an issue with the Level Creator - the road cannot be laid out properly unless the mouse click ends on the trash can. This is affecting the playability of the game.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to the Level Creator (mainly in Chrome)
2. Start dragging a piece of road across the grid.
3. Notice that the road cannot be placed as it normally would be.
4. Then, drag the pointer to the trash can and notice that the road will be placed when clicking on it then.

Expected behaviour
The road should be placable as it always has been, by clicking on a square, dragging and letting go on another square.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Any
• Browser: Chrome. Firefox seems to work. Haven't tested on Safari or Edge yet.

Good Places to Start
Unusual dev tool errors:

All the others are expected.

Additional context
This looks like a JS issue, it may be linked to the JQuery ghost issue but maybe not. It seems to be browser-specific. If it is linked to the errors in the console, try to resolve them and see if it helps.

The issue seems to have been introduced after the update to Chrome version 144.
I wonder if this is the specific update that may be affecting our JS code around mouse events, especially as the bug seems to be that the app thinks the mouse is stuck in a "down / over" state.

Specifically, these are the bits of code I am currently looking at.

Update: This issue also seems to be prevalent on Edge version >=144.
Currently looking into the release notes for Edge 144 to see if anything seems to match the ones for Chrome 144.

In Firefox and Safari, for some reason, the Level Creator still seems to be working fine.
