pick/drag cursor in fence command

All.
I just starting using Cad 2021, and I have to say, Autodesk made some wonderful new icons, but so many other user interface upgrades were not needed. 

The one bothering me now, is "pick/drag cursor" within the fence command. 
Used mostly with Trim or extend, I would then type in "F" for fence, and pick the first point with no issues. Now it seems there is this "drag" function upon the first pick, so if you are too quick with your mouse, cad assumes you are dragging a window, which is not part of the Fence command at all. I'd really HATE to lower my DPI for my mouse (Since I use three screens) so does anyone know how to revert to an old fence command where Drag is not an option?

I don't remember this in older versions of Cad but I could be wrong. All I know, is I've never had this issue before.

 

Thanks.
Mike

Hello DP-Mike,

 

Have you looked into the PICKAUTO variable (works in conjunction with the PICKDRAG system variable).

PICKAUTO:

PICKDRAG:

Options > Selection:

Never mind.. I figured it out. 
Applied Windows in Options had "Allow Press and Drag for Lasso" checked. 

 

One day, it would be nice if AutoCad actually migrated profiles over with all the same settings, instead of certain one being set differently (to make the user use the new ones as some conspiracy theorists would surmise.)

Thanks for reading.. hope this helps someone else out.
