I recently upgraded to Tahoe 26.7.2 on my Mac Pro 2019, 3.2 GHz 16-Core Intel Xeon W. I am noticing that now when I am in Finder and trying to drag and drop a file into InDesign, or even from my desktop into anther folder, it is not behaving properly. Instead of moving the file when I click and hold my mouse over it and then try to drag, it just selects other files around it.
I am able to fix this temporarily by force restarting Finder but then it ends up happening again after some time.
Would really appreciate if anyone knows of a permanent fix for this very annoying problem.
Hmmm...
To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
*** (if you are using a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries— connect the charging cable, this will make the wired keyboard successful Safe Boot your Mac.)
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
