Drag and drop suddenly stopped working
Posted: 21 Oct 2014 21:28
Hello -
Suddenly today, when I left-click and drag a file from the main area of a tab, nothing happens - it's as though I was moving the cursor without having clicked and held the left mouse button down; the cursor just moves away from the file icon and the file icon remains highlighted, but no drag image appears and nothing happens when I try to drop the non-displaying "file" over what would have been my desired target.
I looked through all the options I could find, and the only relevant one was "Tools" -> "Configuration" -> "General" -> "Menus, Mouse, Safety" -> "Safety Belts" -> "Disallow left-dragging from tree and list". This was already *unchecked*, however.
I then restarted the computer, and the same thing happened.
Do you have any suggestions about what might have happened to break dragging-and-dropping, and/or what I might do to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Dan
