AutoCAD - Select Object, Right Click Drag, then "Move Here" is not working

Hi,

 

I have my CAD set such that when I select objects and click+hold right click and drag the mouse, usually, the objects would visually be dragged to follow my mouse cursor. When I release the right click, a menu pops out with 3 to 4 selections, two of which are "move here" and "copy here". I've been using this for quite some time and it is my preferred way of moving objects when I don't need to be precise. Now, this no longer works. Instead, when I select the objects, and click+hold right click and drag the mouse, the objects stay in place and no longer follows my mouse. When I release the right click, I get a longer menu with no options to "move here" or "copy here". See image below of the differences.

 

 

I want this:

I don't want this:

I restarted AutoCAD and changed the PICKFIRST system variable from 1 to 0 to 1. The issue has been resolved. Thank you.
