Hey Everyone,

Ever since installing ML my click and drag does not RELEASE.

Eg. When I click and hold then drag an app from my dock, the litter graphic appears but I cannot "let go" of the app. I tried clicking and letting go of the track pad but it wont do the little animation of the litter disappearing.

The only way I found to let go of anything be it a file/folder/app or anything is to move my curser up to the menu bar and click there.OR to hit the esc button... sometimes that works to but not always. Also once I've click the menu bar the file/folder/app returns back to the original place.

Quite Annoying.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

I had this problem once in a while under Lion. Have not seen it yet under ML. I remember looking for a fix but not finding anything consistent. I usually had to force quit the app.

I also posted this on the Apple Discussions Boards and someone suggested uninstalling Air Display or AirParrot.

Since I did have Air Display installed I went forward and Uninstalled it. That solved the problem.

Except for when I need to use Air Display.
