How to drag file on OS X without having to click it twice I'm running Mojave 10.14.6.

On previous version of OS X, I could click and drag files same as on other OSs. However, with this version, by default it had the 3-finger drag, which I disabled by un-checking Enable Dragging. Now when I try to click and drag a file, nothing happens. I need to click to select the file, at which point its highlit, and THEN I can click and drag it.

Does anyone know how I can configure my system so that I can just click and drag files without having to pre-click to select the file first?
My suspicion is you have Accessibility options you don’t like enabled.

What&#39;s the difference between one finger dragging and drag lock?
