Trackpad - cursor locks on drag

Hello!

I just started to use a MacBook and it's trackpad.

I have a PC (laptop) where I can double tap on window header and drag it (for example).

The problem here is that I enabled tapping with one finger and disabled Drag Lock. But when I double tap to drag a window, then release my finger (I dragged a window, I want to move cursor to other object) and immediately put the finger back on the trackpad's surface, the window is still locked to my cursor! I need to lift up my finger and wait for some time before putting it back, only then the window will be unlocked. When I just click and drag, nothing like this happens.

Is it a way to disable that extra locking time after dragging?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), null
