Can't remove icon from dock
Well, I can do it by Control-clicking on the icon then choosing Options-->Remove from Dock. But when I try to do it the old-fashioned way by just dragging the icon off the dock, I can't drag the icon. Instead, everything disappears from the desktop and the words "No Available Windows" appear. I have also discovered that I can half-press the trackpad and the Options drop-down appears. So:
- What's going on? Is dragging the icon off the dock no longer an option? Does the trackpad really have a hard press and a soft press, giving two different actions?
- Where am I supposed to learn about this? I've searched and searched the web generally and Apple's User Guide and Apple documentation but to no avail; nowhere can I find anything about this behavior concerning the trackpad or the dock icons.
I'm switching from a very old MacBook, and so all of the above is new to me.
