# Cumulative Layout Shift Changes in Chrome 93

### Bug fix involving scroll anchoring

Shifts of offscreen elements that are countered with scroll anchoring, and
combined with a natural user scroll, are now correctly ignored.

### Ignore layout shift while dragging or resizing elements with a mouse

For mouse drag and resize actions, we buffer the layout shift for Mousemove
events after Mousedown event. When the Mouseup is received, We set hadRecentInput
to be true, which triggers the exclusion window to ignore the layout shift
score during mouse dragging and resizing.
