Movement of drawing objects such as dimensions

I'm using Creo 2.0, M140.

I've noticed an immensely annoying behavior in this and presumably earlier versions of Creo 2.0. when I select a drafting entity, such as a dimension, note, balloon, etc. Once I have selected the entity, and I move the cursor over the entity in order to move it, the following things happen unless I am ridiculously careful:

 

(1) I move the cursor over the entity until it changes its appearance to the "arrowed cross" configuration, presumably to indicate that I can move the selected drafting entity.

(2) I press the left mouse button to initiate movement.

(3) Instead of allowing me to move the entity, I get a rectangular selection box.

(4) Once I release the mouse button, the entity I had selected in now deselected.

 

This chain of events wastes a lot of time. Is there some setting I'm missing that will make this process "smarter"? It's like a cruel video game that requires me to, when depressing the mouse button, have the cursor *directly* over one of the lines comprising the text, or else I lose my selection. Maybe there is some secret button/key I need to press first to prevent the box selection mode from taking over?
