I have this same sort of problem where I cannot pan the VFR map on my second monitor I can only zoom in or out, been like this for weeks since last major update. Tried everything to no avail (resetting panels etc .) posted on here weeks ago with no joy.

• yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• cannot move the slider using the mouse left button when those windows are deported outside of the main MSFS window. In FS2020, with the VFR map, it is also not possible to move it using the mouse left button as mentioned by @VenularJet9 . Also happens with FS2024 (tag added), tested with the weather window.
