Trying to drag & drop sometimes is reset multiple times during drag with mouse Logitech M510 on macOS

Question

Trying to drag & drop sometimes is reset multiple times during drag with mouse Logitech M510 on macOS Mojave and Catalina. This issue is new, I can reproduce it switching macs, usb receivers. Using a M705 mouse seems to work fine.

Report from Logitech Unifying software, using original Unifying Receiver dongle:

Having the same issue with a wired M500 on Catalina. Appears to be tied to the scroll wheel. When dragging over text, the scroll wheel sometimes moves slightly and the text deselects. Currently working around it by putting the scroll wheel in "click-to-click" mode so it doesn't move as easily. — Zac Delventhal, Apr 02 '21 at 04:49

For my case, unfortunately the solution was replacing the 4-years-old Logitech M510 mouse! Looking at some Amazon reviews, this model frequently start to have issues after a few years.
