I don't know if it's some setting with the Trackpad Accessibility option's (using a MacBook Pro), but whenever I tap (not physically click) the trackpad on the top section of any Messages window, whether it be an individual person message or the main Message window) and then tap somewhere else on the screen, the whole window moves to where I tapped.

In the Accessibility settings I've tried both Without Drag Lock & With Drag Lock, neither make a difference. The only application that I've seen this happening with is Messages. Safari, Notes, Mail, etc., doesn't happen.

How do I stop this? It's so irritating.

That happens on occasions when the window is inactive. Stupid bug is all.

It's not a trackpad issue as it happens with a mouse too. I've been meaning to report it but I'm too lazy :)

This is really annoying. Been happening for months.

I changed the icon for the messages app. Did anyone else having this problem do that? That's the only thing I can think that's causing this problem.
