Hi all,
When I drag an icon on the desktop I cannot see the icon under the mouse.
The icon is there. When I let go of the left mouse button I can see that the
icon had moved.
When I drag a window I can see the frame.
What should I do to see the icon under the mouse?

Hi Oren,

With Show windows contents while dragging ticked you see the text when
moving an icon.

With Show windows contents while dragging ticked you see the contents of a
folder window while moving it.

With Show windows contents while dragging NOT ticked you do NOT see the text
when moving an icon.

With Show windows contents while dragging NOT ticked you do NOT see the
contents of a folder window while moving it. You just see the outline of
the window.
