    I'm using the Physics Raycast to drag an object on my scene, the problem is that OnBeginDrag is only called after I click several times with the mouse over the object I want to drag. It does sometimes (very rarely) get called at the first attempt, so I think there might be a bug.

    PhysicsRaycast.cs contains a function named ComputeRayAndDistance which has 3 exit points that return false, in which case the corresponding event is not triggered. The last statement returns true, in which case the event is triggered. I tried to add some Debug statements to see what was happening, but unsurprisingly the file is write-protected, and you're not allowed to change its permissions either. So the only way to get a grasp of what happens is by placing breakpoints. If I set breakpoints on each of the return statements, execution never stops, as if the function was never called, but if set a breakpoint at line 122 which is used to test if the mouse is inside the camera's rectangle, execution stops immediately as soon as I do something with the mouse. Once the execution stops, if I disable all breakpoints and continue, I start receiving all the events for which I have interfaces implemented.

    Restarting Unity solves the problem.

    [UPDATE]
    This happens when Windows wakes up from hibernation. To reproduce just leave Unity open, put the computer to hibernate, and then wake it up.
