Not to rathole on this - but now I'm confused. When I click-drag something on macOS, I can click once, and repeatedly swipe with my index finger, lifting it from the touch pad each time to continue. This is true with every operation I can think of - selecting text, dragging windows, dragging items, etc...

In theory, a three finger-swipe is basically GUI equivalent to a click and drag - so the behaviors should be identical.

Under what scenario have you found them not to be?
