I can't drag files with the mouse

Just installed Mountain Lion. After about four days I can't drag files with the mouse. Not across the desktop or from Finder window to Finder window.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

I have the same problem, I have posted the below here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4152036?start=0&tstart=0


I have exactly the same problem on Mountain Lion- I go to drag files from the finder to another finder folder or the desktop and when I go to release the mouse button the file stays in a "hover" state, as if I hadn't released the mouse. It then follows my mouse cursor around forever. Very frustrating.


I have rebooted several times - any ideas?
