“Click drag select” permits you to immediately select and move an object in one motion. Useful if say you have hundreds of objects and you want to select them one at a time and quickly snap them to existing objects such as locators or nulls. So it works really well in conjunction with the snap tools for example.
If “click drag select” is off the behavior is supposed to select the object if you click on something and then end the transaction on release. If you click and then drag it creates a marquee upon drag for multi-selection and is supposed to end the marquee transaction upon release. If you are saying that it is still behaving like “click drag select” with it turned off, moving the object and never creating the marquee for multi-selection, then something doesn’t sound right.

I knew I've tried that before. That option only worked when I'm using wireframe and try to select a polymesh and don't click on any wireframe. In shaded mode it still moves my objects if I do a drag. This behavior occurs with mouse or pen tablet, the only difference is that with a pen it is more common to do a long click (drag) without noticing.
