If you click the task in certain columns, such as "Flag" or "Effort", you 
only have to click once.

If you guys are talking about the Properties Pane, whereby you click once and, 
in my words, nothing happens, and then you click again to select the item…

 

I WANT TO BUY YOU ALL A BEER!

 

I’ve been complaining about this since when I had hair.

 

Take Care,

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

I would agree.   I have now got used to doing the click, release, click again 
to select but as you say,  Iain this is not consistent with how other UI’s work 
and is particularly annoying until you work out the work around.

The occasions on which I want to select multiple items in MLO are rare and when 
I do need to do it, I use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click (which also work) to select 
the items.

So I would also vote to change this behaviour to make it consistent with

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
