Hi, thanks for the report. Can confirm. Though I think this is expected. Reroute node is almost like a socket so it make sense to execute "node-link" operation instead of "move"

I guess this is expected too, linking sockets generally has higher priority than moving nodes. I wonder if it would even be useful to use the tweak tool on reroute nodes? What's the use case?

Regarding the use case:
Tweak is the fallback when clicking and dragging a node with any selection tool (box, circle, etc.). So I think the issue is less "can't use tweak on reroute" and more "can't move reroutes by clicking on them".

Tweaking with the mouse works fine, when you're using right-click to select, but to move reroutes with left-click selection you have to first select them and then use the move operator ("G"), which is a bit clunky.

But I agree that this is the expected behavior with the current design.

We can close if this is expected behavior :)
