About 80% of the time when I try to drag objects or select text by using the left-click button and the trackpad, it doesn't work. Instead what happens is I move the cursor, but nothing happens (objects don't move, text isn't selected, etc.) So instead what I have to do is double tap on the trackpad and then hope that I'm able to drag as far as I need to before my finger gets to the end of the trackpad. The other 20% of the time, I can drag and drop no problem. Perhaps there is there some sort of toggle I'm not aware of? I'd like to be able to drag and drop 100% of the time.

  • If you can double tap and drag, then if your finger arrives at the end of the trackpad, you can put a second finger on the trackpad, remove the first finger and continue dragging. It's not a solution but a workaround though.
