during editing I can drag 1 maybe 3 clips then the next clip I try to add only drags across audio

Hi ​@avid_dancer74f6 

Welcome to the Premiere forums! In order to better troubleshoot, we need to ask for a few more details like if Mac (and what macOS) or PC (whether Windows 11/10, plus what driver version & build), what version & build of Premiere are you using, how’s your media stored with our bug report details.

• Premiere Version: Find the exact version/build of Premiere you’re currently using. Go to Premiere > About Premiere or Help > About Premiere.
• Operating System: Specify Windows or macOS, along with OS version or win11/10.
• Mac Chip (Mac Only): Please let us know what M-series chip you have. If Intel please include GPU.
• GPU and Driver (Windows only): Please let us know your video card and driver version. We recommend updating to the most recent version; for NVIDIA users, we strongly recommend the Studio version of the driver.
• Media Files: video, images, etc. and what types (can check under Media Properties)
• Media Storage: Are your Scratch Disks set to your Documents folder or the same as project, and is this the same as the Media drive?

Related to the input device/mouse specifically:

• Does it happen with a different input device, such as a wired mouse versus the laptop trackpad, and does that same device drag normally in other apps?
• Is it limited to the timeline, or do dragging operations fail elsewhere in Premiere too?
  • Which exact timeline actions fail?
• Does it reproduce in a new empty project with a sample clip, and are the affected tracks unlocked?
• Are they using a tablet, dock, remote desktop, mouse utility, or accessibility setting that might affect dragging? What monitor setup and display scaling are active? 
• When did the problem first begin, and in what version/build Premiere?

Do you recall which Premiere this was last working in, and what might have changed? Any plugins, update to computer, etc.

A screen recording may also be helpful for us to see exactly what is happening when this occurs.

Sorry for the frustrations with this, and we hope to help!

so during editing I cam drag maybe 2 at most 3 clips then the next clip I try too add will only drag across the audio file 

i then have to close project reopen and the next 2 or 3 clips will work before facing the same issue and repeating the close and reopen the project 

please help as this gets frustrating during a long project
