I guess this is going to remain a mystery for me. I uninstalled Java and
reinstalled it. Did the same for Vassal and still get the same result.
Guess I’ll just have to live with it. Doesn’t interfere with playing the
game.
Have you checked the errorLog after trying to drag a piece?
I ran a module, moved some counters around and then checked the Error log. It did not report any errors. Tried to copy or save the error log to post here, but couldn’t find any way to do that.

I’ve tried the releases back to 3.1.12 and still no ghost image when moving units. I’m positive that it was working when I used 3.1.14. I have no idea why it’s not displaying right.
I guess I’ll just have to wait until 3.2 comes out and see how that works.

This confirms what I thought, which is that it’s not a problem with
VASSAL, but with something else on your machine.

Well, it’s already been a while since the last post, but might as well post “fix” I found. I had the same problem as OP ever since I changed my motherboard and installed fresh win7. What fixed it for me was turning on aero. I’m not enough tech savvy to tell why it helped, but it did. I hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

This makes me suspect a Java bug. I’ll bet that whichever verision of
Java you have doesn’t account for the case where Aero is disabled on
Windows 7.
This is indeed the case. I just recently changed my desktop background to one of the Win 7 Aero choices and the drag and drop counter transparency problem was solved. Wish I’d have read the above postings sooner. Thanks for your help uckelman and Garamir.

Weird. All I can say is that we’re doing what the Java APIs say we
should w/r/t drawing.
