Fences has taken over my click-drag context menu

from Stardock Forums

I'm having a slight issue with Fences, where if I hold right-click and drag on the desktop (to select multiple icons to work with) all I get is the "create new Fence" option.  Now thankfully, I can still select and then right-click, but I'm wondering why there's no proper context menu integration like other programs have (i.e. 7-zip or Notepad++).

I think this particular feature may have been overlooked since it is less commonly used as you are describing (and to make the action of creating  a fence more apparent). I will report this to the Fences developers, however.

Why can you not use LEFT-click/drag to select multiple items?

Without Fences, when you use the right-click/drag to select multiple items, it brings up the right-click context menu right away.  With Fences, it only brings up the 'Create new Fence' option.  He could left-click/drag to select the items, then click one of them to get the correct context menu, but that's an extra step.  It's a small difference, but if you're used to doing something a certain way, a small change can throw you off.
