Files / Icons wont drop, just drag.

[Eatsleepdrivesc]

Hey Guys, I need some help.

Somehow I can't drag and drop files/programs/icons any more. Not on my desktop, not within my dock, or within folders. When I click on an icon to drag, it will stick to my mouse pointer, but only as a ghost. When I try to release it, it won't drop to the designated area or folder. The icon just keeps sticking to my mouse pointer, where ever I take it. Only after using esc and clicking, I can get rid of the ghost, but the icon will stay at it's previous position.

Its very annoying.

How can I fix this? Please and Thanks!

Hmm, sounds like some kind of option is activated to make the mouse, I believe it's called, to be "sticky"

I've seen this somewhere before as some kind of option. Can't seem to locate it now. But it might be worth researching it that way.

Good luck.
