Left Click+Drag hijacked by Fences

from Stardock Forums

I've searched the forum and haven't seen this issue come up. I have Fence 2.01 installed on 3 computers (running win 7 & win 8) and all have the same issue: Left Click+Drag is taken over by fences.

Scenario: Left Click + Drag to create a box on your desktop. When you release the left mouse button, the Fences context menu pops up asking if I want to create a new Fence/Folder portal here. This makes it a pain to select multiple icons on the desktop. Also, when I'm bored/thinking, I left click+drag on my desktop a whole lot (don't ask why), so its annoying to have the context menu come up each time.

If this is intended behavior, can you please add an option to disable the left click+drag functionality? It was not present in Fences 1 and it made more sense to include it in the right-click + drag context menu.

Thanks.

Hello! I registered here only to bump this thread. 

I just downloaded the latest Fences and was thinking of buying the pro version, BUT I am not overreacting by saying the new version is unusable. The "new feature" to create a fence by dragging a box with the left mouse button is the worst thing you could do. It makes simple tasks as selecting multiple icons a pain.

Please, please remove it or at least add the option to disable the LMB creation of a fence.
