Dragged text disappears
Answered
I am using PyCharm 2016.3.2 on Windows 10. Whenever I am editing a file and I select text to drag and move it somewhere else, the text disappears as soon a I release my mouse button instead of being moved to the spot where I released. Is this a setting I accidentally flipped?
I also posted this question on StackOverflow 4 days ago where someone else chimed in to mention that this also happens in PhpStorm 2016.3.3 for Linux. The question is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42700917/pycharm-dragged-text-disappears .

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the issue. Could you please check with default settings (rename/remove settings folders to start with the defaults https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544519)? Also please check how it works with the latest Pycharm build: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/nextversion/.
I had the same issue and for me it was the plugin Markdown Navigator (http://github.com/vsch/idea-multimarkdown). When I disable it then drag&drop works as expected. Also seems like this affects at least PhpStorm, PyCharm and DataGrip.
Had the same issue and it also was related to Markdown Navigator plugin
It does look like it was a problem with the Markdown Navigator plugin. Thanks for the input everyone!
For me it's also the Markdown Navigator. Thanks!
I had the same issue reported above however I did NOT have the Markdown Navigator plugin installed. A search for other 'markdown' related plugins I had and the following two stood out:
Ultimately removing those 2 plugins fixed my issues.
