Alright for a while now (possibly a few years) my drag and drop features been acting weird. Whenever I move an icon it would drop as if though I let go of the button (even though I havent) (Same happends if I highlight text)... It was not big deal as it only happend on rare occasion but lately its just became unbearable.

Heres a youtube video if my explanation is difficult to understand.

Issue - YouTube

:Edit:
Should also add:
1.) Not once do I let go of the button while dragging.
2.) Its not a virus as i've scanned my pc with multiple programs.

:Edit 2:
It acts as if though I let go of the button and then clicked agian.

Hello and welcome . Go to Control Panel and open up Mouse and see if it shows working properly. if it does. check settings to ensure they are set as you would have them to be . You may also check in Device Manager for driver update.

Nope... Just things like pointer and double-click speed (along with varies other options that have nothing to do with it). =/

I would second this.
Sounds like the most logical first step. I can't see anything else being a cause besides possibly loosened in the port that its plugged into.

Yes until you buy a new mouse you will have to use cut and paste

Hrmm... I doubt my level of knowledge would be of use to the general population but I guess I log in every now agian and see if I can do anything.

:Edit:
I just now noticed that I had the video set to private rather then unlisted.
