This is another issue. I have faced what you wrote in the past but not now with 2.3.0 master latest versions. Now mouse selects tracks correctly.

I have faced exactly the same issue once in my win 7 in mixxx version 2.0 a year ago, maybe more.
I ran the installer by right click and run as Administrator.
It seemed that it installed correctly but the drag and drop function didn't work at all. Obviously something with the permissions messed up. I copied my database then uninstalled Mixxx completely, reinstalled by simply double click the installer .exe file, copied the database back in Application data/local/mixxx and the problem was solved. Drag and drop worked fine from the library to decks from windows explorer to decks and from windows explorer to database.
I reproduced the situation several times in win 7. Each time I ran the installer as Administrator the result was the same, no drag and drop in Mixxx.

It might be the same for you. Please try it.

@Daniel Schürmann (daschuer) If you can try it and if you be able to reproduce it and verify it I think that a note in the website and in the manual like "do not run installer as Administrator" would be helpful for many people. Working as a technician for a very long time showed to me that many people run installers as Administrator thinking that if they do that they will have less or no problems during installation.

I hope I helped just a little bit.
Thanks for your time.
