Win 11: drag&drop mouse info tips do not update on modifier press

MatthiasE5 · Mar 7, 2022

(This is a double posting (please allow this) as I need to find out if this issue is related to ARM64 or Parallels or Windows 11)
I am quoting from my posting in the M1 subforum

Hello,

could someone please confirm the following issue:

Go to Windows' File Explorer on your Parallels Win 11 installation.

Do some testing with any or all of these drag-and-drop operations:

Drag a file within the same folder and don't release it. Press various modifier keys (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT). Does the mouse info tip update to the action that is actually going to be performed?

In particular:

Attach a drive (e.g. NTFS or FAT formatted USB Stick) to your macbook, ideally attaching it such that it will show up in Windows as an external (non network) drive.

drag a file from C:...Desktop to that drive and do not release it. The mouse info tip should indicate that it wants to COPY it. Pressing a modifiert (I think shift?) should now cause that info box to update the text "COPY" to the text "MOVE" so you know what is going to happen.

On my install, this does not happen. It will continue to say "COPY" even though it will be moving the file.
Sometimes "MOVE" will show flickering for a spit second which indicates this is a bug.

Can anybody confirm? Does anybody have access to a Win 11 computer that is not a VM and report here if the issue is a global Windows but, or related to Parallels or ARM?

Thank you!

I found the solution; see the thread linked to above. It's about "Optimize for games. (keyboard)".
