Hi again Andrey, After my last message I went back and did some further testing. I can now see what is happening.
If I click and drag on the text of a task it works as expected. However, if I'm slightly off and I'm in the empty space between the task name and the next column, it will start selecting rows of tasks rather than moving the individual task. To be fair, that's actually consistent with how windows explorer works so I haven't really got a leg to stand on. However, in my MLO there's a big gap between the columns so it's easy to forget that clicking white space isn't the same as clicking the task name: [image: Screenshot 2023-08-30 081933.png] Maybe you can look at it for future updates. (If I want to select multiple items, I naturally use a right click and drag over the items or hold down shift and click top and bottom). For the time being, turning off one-click to edit and I will need to remember to make sure I'm on the text to move items, gets me where I need to be.
