Hi! I understand you're having trouble moving selected items in ibis Paint X by dragging; instead, you have to use the X and Y position buttons. Let's get to the bottom of this together.

To start, can you tell me what tool you have selected when trying to drag these items? Sometimes, the selection or move tool might not be active, which can prevent dragging.

Here’s a step-by-step approach that usually helps:

1. Check the Move Tool:
- Open the Layer window.
- Select the specific folder or layer that contains the item you want to move.
- Look for the 'Move Layer' option and select it. This tool should allow you to drag your selected item around freely.

2. Use the Lasso Tool for Selection (if appropriate):
- Use the lasso tool to draw around the object you want to move.
- After selection, choose the transform or move option, then try dragging.

3. Confirm the Correct Sub-tool is Selected:
- Sometimes, within the selection tool, a sub-tool might be active that restricts dragging. Make sure you’re using the general selection tool, not a specific sub-tool that locks movement.

4. Try Simple Restart:
- Close and reopen ibis Paint X to reset any temporary glitches.

If after these steps dragging still doesn’t work and you must rely on the X and Y buttons, it might be a setting or bug involving how the move behaves for your device (WebKit on Windows 10). Also, confirm you’re not in a mode like “Lock Layer” or “Transform” that might restrict dragging.

Do any of these match what you’re seeing? Or, have you tried any of these steps already? That way, I can tailor the advice better.

Meanwhile, here’s a helpful video tutorial on using the drag tool effectively: How To Use The Drag Tool - Ibis Paint X Tutorial [1].

Let me know what you find, and we’ll troubleshoot further!
