moving around on the desktop

Often I have to click to move and click again to position or stop moving the window. How do I change this? Two clicks is annoying. Why can't it just stay where I put it, as is what my older Mac did? I can't seem to find the system preference to change this.

Anyone know?

Have you made any adjustment to make the trackpad work for you better?

You may want to look at System Preferences->Accessibility->Pointer Control.

Click "Trackpad Options" and uncheck the box for "enable dragging". You probably have one of those options like "with drag lock".

It’s not in the trackpad preferences.

It is in the Accessibility preferences.
