Bug Description
Binary package hint: thunar
In details view, when I try to drag a file to another folder/window, I currently have to select it first with a single click. By dragging an unselected file, a selection box is created selecting other files instead of moving the current one. Therefore you need two clicks for each file move. If this is not a bug, it should be configurable (e.g. "Drag file starts selection").

Thunar starts a selection drag rather than a file drag if you start dragging an item which is previously unselected. This is rather annoying especially with new Thunar windows, where nothing is selected.
The desired action would be to drag the file which you start to drag, even if it was not previously selected.
