On occasion, when I click on a window (by tapping on the trackpad), the window goes into some strange movement mode - keyboard input is ignored, and wherever I click next the window is moved to (and strange mode reverted).

I can't find anything in preferences that relates to this. I'd rather have it turned off completely, but I'd settle for knowing how I'm accidentally doing it, so I can avoid doing so.

This is on 10.6.8.

Sounds like the Drag Lock option in the Trackpad section of System Preferences. Try disabling that setting and see if the issue goes away.

See, I thought that sounded reasonable, too. But Drag Lock is not only not checked, it's greyed out - it only is enable-able if one-finger dragging is enabled, which it isn't. I have tried in the past enabling and disabling it to see if that would fix it - no luck. – Xiong Chiamiov Sep 8 '11 at 21:49
