What happened to three-finger trackpad drag?

On macOS 10.13.3 I can use three fingers on my trackpad to drag windows and select text. This no longer seems to work in 10.14 and I can't find any preference(s) to re-enable it.

I've logged in with a Guest account just to sanity check that something in my main account wasn't affecting the trackpad. I see the same behavior: I can't drag or select text with three fingers using either the internal or external trackpad.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am aktually using macOS 10.13.5 and the three-finger-drag-the-windows is not longer in the settings for the trackpad but in the Accessibility settings:

Settings -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad -> Trackpad options -> and then choose the second checkbox

Then it should work…

Thank you so much - I had no idea they had moved that preference!
