Click and drag: object jumps to another location (not lag)

Hi,
I'm having a really annoying problem with Photoshop CS4, This is hapening since I updated to CS4 about a couple of months ago.
I've already updated my drivers and did a reset of the photoshop preferences. So if you could take a look at my problem I would really be thankfull!
Sometimes when I...:
When I use the Hand tool to browse trough the artboard it suddenly jumps to a random place on my artboard.
When I try to drag any item to another position it jumps somewhere not supposed to.
When selecting something with the rectangular marquee tool, drawing a shape, placing a gradient, transform tool.....
This is hapening with every tool I need to click and drag. (And yes I!m using a decent mouse it works perfectly with other Adobe software)
I don't think it's lag caused by my hardware beacause everything is running verry smooth except the above-mentioned problems. And these problems al happen in an instance.
Photoshop CS4
Windows Vista 64bit
Core2Duo T9400 @ 2,53GHz
8GB Ram
Nvidia Quadro FX 770M
Can anyone Help me? Thanks in advance!

I did an upgrade to windows 7, Problem fixed

Applications crash immediately when I click and drag object. Every time in every Adobe program.

Application crashes when I click and drag object. Any time I am in an adobe program on my new computer (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, 15 inch macbook pro 2.5gHz) say Illustrator for example, it will be fine until I inevitably need to click and drag something.
It immediately crashes, every single time. Same with Premiere, same with AE, same with photoshop. This is a brand new computer and I've tried all available versions CC2014, CC, and CS6. Anybody have some idea of what is happening? I've also tried using a bluetooth mouse to see if it's a problem with the touchpad. How could clicking and dragging cause every single application to crash 100% of the time.
Thank you in advance!

Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

How do I create an object with "click and drag" interaction?

I want do make an object that I can move around the screen at will, so, I need a way to make a click and drag object in adobe edge.
I also need this to work with touch devices and also to limit the movement of the object to one direction (x or y).
Thank you all in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I tried doing what you said, creating a command by opening a new flash file, etc. For some reason, I could make a rectangle and save that as a command, but making a shape using the polystar command didn't work - there was a red "x" next to it in the history panel.
Anyway, even if I could do that, it's not what I want to do. I want to be able to create a shape and then be able to change the shape dynamically. For instance, I want to be able to create a series of points and draw curves between them to create a closed curve shape. Then I want to be able to change the positions of the vertices so that the shape changes as the .swf is running. Thanks.

The Move Tool not working in InDesign CC 2014, no click-and-drag. What Can I do to fix it?

It just started not working this week. I am unable to click-and drag anything in my document with the Move Tool. I have noticed that I can click-and-drag objects if I switch to the Free Transform Tool. Ok work around for now but I want to fix the issues. I have tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the program but with no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I have looked into replacing my preferences but I cannot find a good preferences in which to copy and use.

What will make it so you can't move objects by click and drag even though they are not locked?

I have been using the cc 2014 version for awhile now and this morning when I select an object with the selection tool, I can't freely move it by click and drag. The object will move with the arrow keys and can be aligned with the alignment tools.

Does it have a fill of None? Maybe you're trying to select the object on its "fill" but if there's no fill, it does not get selected.

HT2688 How can I "click and drag" songs from one shared library to another?

I have home sharing activated on my mom's computer and mine and before the newest version of itunes, we were able to click and drag songs from one users' library into the other. We are not able to do that now and I wanted to know if there was a way to do this in the newest version of itunes.

I am using a Windows computer first off, not sure if that makes a difference, When you say "click import" where is import. I can not find anything that says "import" to click.

InDesign CC crash when clicking and dragging

I've had a really huge issue the last two days with InDesign CC. Every file I open, or, new file I create, it crashes the program immediately when I attempt to click and drag -anything-
I am able to use the type tool, access all the drop down menus and so forth. The program launches, it allowed me to double click to select type and then copy / paste it. (Thank god since I spent an hour typing it...)
However, If I try to move anything, text frame, object, empty frame, etc, instant crash.
I tried to take the steps to clear the preferences and recovery items, as is listed as a fix for these kinds of crashes. I went so far as to remove the related folders entirely. This worked. For about five minutes. Then it was right back to crashing went I tried to nudge anything.
I actually just totally uninstalled InDesign CC and reinstalled it fresh, it's still happening.
I am running on MacBook Pro, Mid 2012

Suggestions, would be really appreciated =(

I think I know the solution to the problem (for me anyway)!
I have been plagued by this CC problem for months with Illustrator, In Design and Photoshop. I even bought a new machine because of the stress it caused me, and not to mention the lost work hours!!!! But since buying the new machine and having it happen again, and again and again, I have ruled out all font, software, plugin conflicts - because there is nothing on my machine that was on the old one. All of my old files are on an external hard drive and I have had Illustrator CC crash several times with the hard drive ejected. This is what leads me to think (in my case at least) that the machine/files/plugins are not the problem. Here's what has worked for me, and where I think my problem stems from:
CC membership allows you to run the Adobe applications on 2 machines, in most people's cases that's home and office. I have two machines; one for work with one set of preferences that my CC account was made with, and another machine at home that is shared and has an entirely different set of preferences.
When an Illustrator file is left open on my work machine (the machine that the CC account was created on) with a long period of inactivity (e.g. over a weekend) Illustrator CC on my home machine crashes constantly (as soon as I try to move an object it crashes). As soon as Illustrator CC is closed down on my work machine, Illustrator CC on my home machine is then fine! And then both machines will the run Illustrator CC again simultaneously until the work machine is left for another long period of inactivity (a couple of days). Then, when it is, my home machine crashes again.
I also noticed that each time Illustrator CC asked me to send a crash report from my home machine to Adobe it would pull the email from the preferences on my home machine, not the email that the CC account was made with (which is the email on my work machine). It could be that leaving Illustrator CC/any of the CC apps open and inactive for a couple of days causes some kind of 'time out' period on the account.
This could explain why Illustrator CC would work again on my home machine (briefly) when trashing the account preferences.
So to re-cap I have solved my seemingly inexplicable problem by making sure that Illustrator CC is not left open for long periods of inactivity (2 days seems to be the threshold) on one machine, if the account is being shared across two machines.
Please let me know if this A. makes sense and B. helps anyone.

Windows 7 in boot camp - two finger click and drag issues

Hey everyone. I have Windows 7 on Boot Camp (MacBook Pro mid-2010, Mac OS X Lion) and I cannot seem to click on a window with one finger, then use a second finger to drag it. Every time I try it brings up the right click menu. Is there any way of fixing this? I want to be able to drag, darn it! Thanks.
Grant

Having had the same issue on my MacBook Pro with Boot Camp 5.0.5033 on Windows 8, workaround being external mouse, I have found the following:
If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is enabled in Control Panel/Boot Camp, in order to Click and Drag one cannot click any place on the trackpad. One must click bottom area of the trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag.
If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is disabled, Click and Drag works the same way as in Mac OS X: one can click any place on MacBook Pro built-in trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag the window or select a fragment of text. The two fingers Secondary Click, consequently, becomes disabled.
For me Mac OS X-style Click&Drag is more important, so I disabled two fingers Secondary Click, and assigned Bottom-Right-Corner of the trackpad to be Right-Click instead.
Don’t know if the question is still open… Hope, however, the info might be helpful to those having the same inconvenience with Click and Drag under Boot Camp.

How do I change the song order of a playlist. I used to be able to click and drag to a new order.

How do I change the order of songs in a playlist. I used to be able to click and drag to the new location, but can't now.

Ricardo, It changed in iTunes 11.
With the playlist open, click on the View menu, View Options, and then set the "Sort By" field to "Manual Order." Then you can drag songs up or down.
If you don't see the View menu, you may have your Menu bar hidden. In that case, unhide it first, by using CTRL-B.

Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes?

Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes? Why I have the text selected, all it does it let me highlight it to change font, size, etc, OR all I can do is move it throughout the artboard. Why can I click and drag the corner box to adjust?

It's because you have a paragraph text box and it doesn't automatically resize text. This way you can change the margins of the text without resizing it which is how paragraph text functions by default.
I'm not seeing the new text paragraph/area indicator on your text box, which is what you get in Illustrator CC, so the only way to convert this text so you can resize it by dragging on the corners is to copy the text, deselect the text box, use the text tool to click once in another part of your document, and then paste the text. The text will then come into your document as one long line if you don't have hard returns in it, but after reflowing the text manually you'll be able to drag the corners to resize the text.
I would recommend not going this route as any text you remove from the area type means that the rest of the text has to be manually adjusted to maintain correct margins. Instead just resize the bounds of the paragraph text and adjust the size of the font in the Character panel.

Track pad wont click and drag help?

this may not be the right place but for some reason my track pad just randomly quit working when it comes to click and drag. i updated the software because i read one correct this issue but its still happening. can anyone help? do i need to take it to a mac store?

That is unfortunate! However, here is some international contact information:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
I see that your location is on the list. It's possible that you could contact Apple directly and be referred to an Apple Authorized Service Provider who could diagnose what is wrong.
In the meantime, you could always make a good backup and then reinstall the OS from disc and see if this cures the problem.
If you really feel this is software rather than hardware, it might be worth posting your question in the Snow Leopard forum where all the software experts are. It may be a simple matter of trashing a .plist or something like that.
Good luck!

Is it possible to play an animation by clicking and dragging?

I currently have right and left arrow buttons to control an animation.
I was wondering if it's possible to control the animation by dragging the mouse? So if the user clicked and dragged the mouse to the left it would play the animation, then when they released the click it would stop. And if they dragged to the right it would play in reverse.
I've been looking around and haven't found anything on this topic. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, cameronnicol-
The code should work on the Stage, as it's internally just a symbol. You should ensure that you reference the object as Stage in your code and not stage (note the capitalization). The other thing to consider is that click and drag events are not very performant on devices; touch events generally register very quickly and will give your users a better experience.

PE 9; is there a way to click and drag a clip to Organizer?

Is there a way to click and drag a clip from the timeline or sceneline to the organizer to keep it intact and use l, or in another project? Thanks.

You mean a trimmed clip?
No, you can't do that.
However, you can use Share/Computer/AVI -- isolating the clip with the Work Area Bar if necessary -- to save any portion of your timeline as a new clip.
