Moving a window - the window only moves when mouse is released

This isn't really a problem, but I've never seen this before:

When I move an open window to a different position on the screen, only a
rectangle shows in the new position, and the window then jumps to the new
position when I release the mouse button.

Any ideas on why that is happening or how I can return to the "normal" way
of moving open windows? I'm used to a window simply dragging along with the
mouse while the button is held down.

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Appearance tab |
Effects button | Select Show window contents while dragging |
OK your way back out

[[Specifies whether to display window contents as you move or size it. When
this check box is cleared, you can see only the outline when you move a
window.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.
