My Issue/Question

The function "_help" that's part of the demo code, makes the application unresponsive.

To Reproduce

Run the code below

Expected behavior

Application should not drag.

Standalone, minimal, complete and verifiable example

# Here's some code anyone can copy and paste to reproduce your issue, if you comment the calls to _help function the application works as expected. 

import dearpygui.dearpygui as dpg

def _help(message):
    last_item = dpg.last_item()
    group = dpg.add_group(horizontal=True)
    dpg.move_item(last_item, parent=group)
    dpg.capture_next_item(lambda s: dpg.move_item(s, parent=group))
    t = dpg.add_text("(?)", color=[0, 255, 0])
    with dpg.tooltip(t):
        dpg.add_text(message)

def show_callback1():
    with dpg.window(label="Example Window1"):
        dpg.add_text("Hello world")

                                    borders_outerV=True, row_background=True):

            dpg.add_table_column()
            dpg.add_table_column()

dpg.create_context()

with dpg.window(label="Example Window"):
    dpg.add_text("Hello world")
    dpg.add_button(label="Show window 1", callback=show_callback1)
    dpg.add_button(label="Show window 2", callback=show_callback2)
    
dpg.show_viewport()
dpg.start_dearpygui()
dpg.destroy_context()

I bet it's due to move_item - see #2343 (the fix for it will be shipped in the next release).

Awesome, thank you.... it makes sense because I stumble into this with only a handful of widgets but a deeper tree. Looking forward to the fix.
