group box, flow layout panel, panel, split container,and tab control do not drag.
I believe uninstalling resharper is when it started to happen.
I've done a repair on visual studio. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
Any idea where I would look or what is wrong?
When I click on the drag icon. the mouse snaps left to the resize handle, and does not let me drag.
Have you installed any add-ins? Try deleting the ones you have enabled.
Are you trying to click anywhere on the control and drag?
In case of container controls, you can only click on the little box icon with 4 arrows on the top left and drag. Clicking anywhere else on the controls will not start the drag.
I also can't drag tables in the linq-to-sql designer, or the dataset designer. I've now done a complete removal of as before, but including everything in program files. All visual studio related installs, and .net framework 3.5 and 2.0 were removed.
I still can't drag any of these things. However using the arrow keys, I can move linq designer tables, and controls, but not dataset designer dataTables.
so it turns out that somehow a mouse or mouse driver was causing this. When I brought my work machine home. the problem was suddenly on my work machine. When I shut it off, hooked up a different keyboard and mouse... the problem dissapeared. A few weeks back my mouse's 5th button broke. I'm guessing it broke in such a way that the button is held down, or other parts of it also messed up. because as long as that mouse doesn't get plugged in, my dragging in visual studio on those specific controls works. It was an old Razer mouse. When I went into the device manager, there was a conflict/warning showing on that mouse.
