Latest Mavericks update disables drag and drop

Ever since the latest Mavericks update came out, I've not been able to use drag and drop out of Chrome and now out of Image Capture. I've trashed the plist file for Finder with no results. Does anyone have a fix?
I have to say, I want Mountain Lion stability back. Please.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

Hi
How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
Regards
Paru

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.

ADF Button components: How to disable drag and drop [SOLVED]

Hi everyone
I need to develop an application which allows not the user to drag and drop button components. I've converted every single af:commandbutton to h:commandbutton, to prevent this behaviour, but a huge lot of other problems arose from this "solution". I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.4157, and I'm a beginner, so please be patient with me.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe I've drifted off-topic with this, but I found the way to achieve this. The only limitation is that the change must be done on the client's computer. The drag and drop feature can be disabled by going to the about:config page in Firefox, and setting nglayout.enable_drag_images to false. It can also be done in a more "portable" way by creating a user.js script in the profile folder and setting it from there. Thank you all for stopping by and reading.

How to disable drag-and-drop tabs to search bar?

I always have a lot of tabs open in Firefox, and oftentimes I move tabs around, whether intentionally or habitually (and accidentally). The problem is that a lot of times the tab is dragged on/near the search bar and this causes Firefox to respond by copying the tab's address to the search and start searching.
I would like to disable one or both of these. I never use this, especially since whatever address I'm at is already found and if I actually wanted to search for it then I would just copy it and search myself. I want to disable the auto search and if possible, also disable copying the address.

It is possible for window creation, note this work around: [http://www.ghacks.net/2012/12/04/firefox-disable-tab-drag-and-drop-window-creation/] However I did not find one for general dragging/moving tabs.
Another add on that provided more customization tricks is known as:
"[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/?src=search]"
Did this help?
</blockquote>
No; as I said, my problem is tabs and the search bar. I drag tabs into new windows practically everyday and the other doesn't seem to have anything related to this either. I only read the description and looked at the pictures and etc, so I did not download it to give it a thorough review prior to declining it as it doesn't seem at all related.
Curious:
Does that ghacks thing also disable the tab-search thing in addition to disabling new windows, or did you just post a completely different tab-drag-drop related issue?
(not rhetorical or sarcastic, I'm actually asking)

Disabling drag and drop of jtextfield

Hey folks,
i have a problem concerning drag and drop. I try to build a framework where you can drag and drop all panels like in eclipse. The problem now is that i have JTextfields or JList on this panels who have their own Drag and Drop mechanism. Is there a way to disable this mechanism, so the drag and drop of the underling component (my Dropable Jpanel) is called when i drop a panel on a JTextfield?
Thanks a lot.

Do you try to change focus before drop event occur. I'm not sure, but I think MouseEvent occur before. Read tutorial pages on DnD, you will find there your solution.

Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves). The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later. If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great. Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

Not that I know of.

After iTunes Update, Cannot Drag and Drop Music into iTunes

Any suggestions?
Windows 7 SP1, x64
iTunes... eh.. no idea what version. I've looked for about a half hour and I couldn't find it. Rather frustrating for a busy person like me to be dikin' around in iTunes looking for something simple like a version number.
Also, the new layout is kind of nice, but in many ways wretched and tedious. What I wouldn't give to just be able to drag and drop mp3s to my iPhone like my android friends can do.
Grumble Grumble.

Using iTunes 11.0.1.12
Click on the box in the upper left corner, "Show Menu Bar," or press Ctrl+B.
Help -> About iTunes
Shouldn't take a half hour to figure it out.

Is it too much to ask to make it an option to disable drag-and-drop altogether so I can finally ditch IE and start using your product?

I suppose drag and drop is a fine feature for those who want it but it irritates the crap out of me and it seems like it should be simple enough to add in a button or a check-box to turn it off.

Things to change:
Replace * with ^
Replace new with gcnew
Replace NULL with nullptr
Replace "pExcel->get_Workbooks();" with "pExcel->Workbooks;
That will care of most issues. There are a few arrays that also need fixing, such as "Object^ oArgs[]". For this you have to use "array<Object^>^ oArgs" (without the []). This one appears in 2 places and there's also "System::Object*
oParams[]" which needs to the same treatment.
This should get the code to a compilable state.

Disable drag and drop of bookmarks?

I would like to disable dragging bookmarks from the bookmarks sidebar onto the browser window, but still be able to use it when rearranging and organizing bookmarks. I am constantly accidentally opening a bookmark when I am on another website. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance...

It works now. It seems to have fixed itself.

Can I disable drag and drop for bookmarks?

If not, it would be nice to have that ability in a future release, even if just added to about:config. Sometimes when I click on a folder in the bookmarks menu, Firefox thinks I want to move it when I don't. Thankfully I can hit escape to cancel the operation. However, there are times when I don't catch it and the folder ends up moved to the bottom of the list (or worse, into another folder).

Note that it should be possible to use "Organize > Undo" in the Library (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) to undo such accidental changes, provided that you haven't closed Firefox.

Maverick Update: Disabled Email and Office Mac Software

Has anyone else experienced this. I cant send emails and I now cant use any of the Office Mac 2011 software utilities like excel, powerpoint, word. I am at my wits end I have been to the Apple stores in Sydney twice now to try to resolve this and each time walked away with no resolution. I am running two businesses from my Mac Book Pro - I am absolutely beside myself trying to work out what to do.

Drag and Drop only partly functions in OSX Yosemite

I recently updated my Macbook Pro to OSX Yosemite and noticed a few weeks after the update, that Drag and Drop stopped working properly roughly 30mins after starting the MB. Drag and Drop still works in the Finder for dragging files, or ein Chrome for dragging a tab into a diferent window. But dragging files and programs into the Dock is impossible. the problem occurs in other programs such as MS Office, for changing the order of pages in a presentation, or in Itunes for dragging Albums into Playlists for example. Restarting helps, but only for the first moments after the start. I found in a different Discussion that deleting a Cache file from the Library (/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist) didnt help (Link to the Discussion: Cannot drag and drop files in Finder on Yosemite 10.10
Thanks for your time in advance and i hope someone finds a solution as I dont want to reinstall the whole OSX

Backgorund:
Drag-drop suddenly stops working.
Temporary solutions:
4-5 reboots
Removing com.apple.finder.plist file
Have not tried:
Reinstall Yosemite
What I found out:
For me, I found out that it's not only about drag/drop - it's about the clipboard. As far as copy/paste went, "nothing" work anymore. Not drag and drop, not cmd+c, not Edit > Copy. I started experience the issue just yesterday I think - it came out of the blue.
However, a week ago I created an Automator scripts that review folder X for extension Y and then moves the file of said extension into a separate folder. Essentially, it's a cut and paste job that Automator does all the time.
Soluton:
Removed the Automator workflow i created from /users/username/library/workflows. Rebooted computer. Drag/drop and copy/paste has been working for over an hour.
