Drag and Drop behavior on new MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar

Found a question about the erratic behaviour of the Drag n' Drop feature on newer MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I noticed turning the "Force click and Haptic feedback" under SystemPreferences/Trackpad off

brought back the classic feeling with immediate response for Drag and Drop in Finder.

I hope this saves some time for someone.

Trackpad - drag and drop issues I have a MacBook Pro 14" (2021, M1). The trackpad does not work properly on occasion - specifically, the ability to drag and drop files from one location to another is not possible for some files and unreliable for others. The issue is intermittent and is occurring on OS 12.5 and the previous version. A restart does not fix this issue, nor does it appear to be an issue with permissions. However, using an external mouse there is no problem ... and interestingly, once an external mouse has been connected the trackpad starts working properly again, until the problem reappears at some later date. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue permanently? Rob

two finger drag not always recognised During scrolling a website or a document et cetera using two finger drag on the trackpad, it frequently happens that my mac doesn't recognise the gesture and instead treats it like a one finger drag or not at all. This gets even more pronounced when I press the ctrl button while dragging. I've read some posts about a trackpad issue in monterey, but my particular issue is not mentioned. Anyone else having issues with this? It's a brand new Macbook Pro 14" 2021 with Monterey 12.4 installed.

Macbook Air 2020 - Trackpad Drag Option? Hello all, I recently purchased a new Macbook Air 2020. So far, I am super happy with it, but there is one thing I miss about my old Macbook Pro - the double tap to drag option. This feature allows you to hold and move items/highlight while not having to stay connected to the trackpad until you tap a third time. I've looked through the trackpad settings on my new Macbook Air and cannot find a drag option anywhere. Anyone have this issue and know if/how to change it?
