Exactly. Although, I no longer drag and drop at all. (Especially, since it has become more sensitive to the drop, and I have dropped to the wrong folder, numerous times.)
I have now switched to right-clicking the file I want to move and then choose cut.
Then I find the destination and choose paste.
