Icon animations and icons NOT selected moving when moving multiple icons

from Stardock Forums

well i humbly requests a way to DISABLE the rather annoying icon animation of moving icons when using Fences. also there is an issue with the program  randomly grabbing icons from rolled up fences and moving them along with others when your moving several icons at once

the icon animation is not part of windows as it ONLY appears when using the fences program and is rather annoying when moving anyting (and having fences with several icons that have to animate when moving just ONE icon in said fence) and the randomly grabbing several icons in the nearby rolled up and hence UNSELECTABLE fence when moving several icons around at times are a pain in the arse to move back and getting back in order

You know having looked at some older posts her on the forums I'm amazed that the icon animation thing have NOT been fixed yet at there seems to be about 5 year old reports of it being an issue. So perhaps we could do more than "consider" it please ?

also i can report that fences is actively LOOSING my shortcuts in some fences for no apparent reason (unless it is once AGAIN apparently selecting icons in that fence when im marking icons OUTSIDE it for deletion

If you want to dig into why that might be, please create a new thread on that subject.

well i must say i would assume that it is due the the same behavior described in the first post where random icon are dragged along from fences when moving icons that are OUT of said fences.. just here it is with the added fun of me DELETING the icons/shortcuts/programs selected instead of actually MOVING them and hence still within the confines of the initial report
