When dragging an image within Google search results, such as in a Google Image search for "apple," or on certain web pages that likely utilize HTML5 drag-and-drop functionality, I observe a radial effect applied to the dragged image. This effect manifests as higher opacity at the point where the drag is initiated, creating a gradient-like appearance. This behavior occurs consistently across all browsers on Windows 11 running through Parallels on my MacBook Pro M4's built-in display and an Apple Pro Display XDR. Notably, when I connected the Apple Pro Display XDR to a PC running Windows 11 natively, the same radial effect was present. However, this effect does not appear when using a Dell U3223QE monitor with Windows 11, whether through Parallels or on a native PC.
I am curious whether this radial effect is tied to specific display technologies, such as those used in the MacBook's built-in display or the Apple Pro Display XDR. Despite extensive searches, I have found no documentation referencing this phenomenon, and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity have indicated that no such "radial drag effect" is documented.
Has anyone else observed this effect when dragging images in Google search results or on web pages using HTML5 drag-and-drop functionality in Parallels on Windows 11? Does anyone know the cause of this effect, its technical term, or where I might find further information?
I have attached a screenshot from a Google Image search for "apple" to illustrate the radial effect observed during the drag operation.
