Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I gather, there's an intermittent issue dragging icons after clicking them on your MacBook. Try taking a look at the article linked below and ensuring the drag settings are configured appropriately on your MacBook.
OS X El Capitan: Mouse & Trackpad pane of Accessibility preferences
Enable dragging
Select the checkbox to be able to drag items.
To set dragging options, click the pop-up menu, then choose an option:
without Drag Lock: Double-tap an item, then drag it without lifting your finger after the second tap; dragging stops immediately when you lift your finger.
with Drag Lock: Double-tap an item, then drag it without lifting your finger after the second tap; dragging continues when you lift your finger, and stops only when you tap the trackpad once.
three finger drag: Drag an item with three fingers; dragging stops immediately when you lift your fingers.
If the issue persists, you can use the article below as a guide to rule out any trackpad issues.

Also, this article will help you isolate and resolve most issues on devices running OS X.
