  Based both on macOS documentation and on the experiences of people who use macOS: > 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.

  > To drag and drop something on the Mac, you: click it, drag it, and release it. It's not true. On windows/linux: tap, release, tap, drag, release On MacOs: tap, release, tap, drag, release, wait When moving back and forth between windows/linux and MacOs, and after working for 20 years with windows, that "wait" isn't built in into finger-memory. So if you "move on" with the next actions, it means that you'll drag whatever you were dragging to the next button. It's simply a very unrefined interaction.
