Ah – thanks, Andrey.   Not noticed that.

Have switched off One Click Mode and it looks like you now get the same 
behaviour as in Explorer

  *   One click to select and drag
  *   One click,  wait and click again to edit title
  *   Double click to jump to same task in other main view (if not a parent);  
and collapse/expand children (if parent)

Initial reaction is that this is better for me but will report back after using 
for a while

Subject: [MLO] Re: Annoying 'feature' - mouse click selects area rather than 
item

Hi Iain,

It is a side effect of "One click edit mode" switched ON by default in MLO. In 
this mode when you click the task title in the outline it switched to the edit 
mode without delay. It is helpful if you edit the title of the tasks frequently.
If you switch this mode OFF you will get the behaviour you want with drag&drop: 
 Tools->Options->Behaviour

Please let me know if it works as expected now.

I am not sure if I can keep both modes active though.

Thanks,
Andrey.

Hi,

In the desktop app, I frequently want to drag and drop a task from one context 
or folder to another.

If you click on a task then drag the mouse, it selects the task and whatever 
other tasks you happend to drag the mouse over.

Normally, I would expect that to work more like windows file explorer, where it 
would begin dragging the selected task.

To achieve that, it's necessary to click (i.e. select) the task, un-click the 
mouse, then click again and do the drag to move.

It's inconsistent with the way most other UI's operate.

Hoping it can be addressed in a future update.

Cheers,

Iain Carlin
