I'm working in a number of Mac X apps that support drag & drop text and I find the sensitivity to be awkward. Since this happens in nearly all apps, I suspect that this is a system-level issue. Is there any way to adjust the timing of the pause that's necessary before you can drag the text string? thank you, AB

There is a difference between Cocoa and Carbon apps in the way that drag and drop of text is handled. (Cocoa & Carbon are software libraries used by programmers to implement parts of their apps)
The way to configure the delay time in Cocoa apps was recently "discovered": http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/custo..._drag_and_drop |

My god! For years since 10.0 I have suffered through lost selections because of this idiotic behaviour which I just wrote off as another example of bad GUI design in OS X that slows down a user and prevents them from working efficiently. This tip is gold.
Thanks, hayne, for pointing out its existence. |
