word2007 moving bug?

[james]

if I right click on word 2007 taskbar button and select move, then without
moving the mouse, left click and drag, word does not move.

All other applications move this way.

To move word, an extra left click is needed. Why?

Are you referring to moving the application window? If so, you don't need to
right-click and select the Move command. All you need to do is place your
mouse in the title bar, left click and start dragging. Note that the primary
function of the Move command is for moving a window with the keyboard. i.e.
select Move and then use your arrow keys on the keyboard to move the window.

What's happening is the "extra left click" is actually canceling the Move
command. Now, why other windows don't cancel the Move command with the first
click of the mouse I don't know. I've found some do and some don't.
