I can't click to pick up & place items in inventory on Windows 8 Minecraft. Can this be enabled?

I have a laptop that has Windows 8 which I use for playing Minecraft. However when using the inventory, I have to hold my mouse to drag and pick the items and I don't like that.
I have tried switching mouses but that didn't work, is this possible to fix?

How do you click stuff in your inventory in Minecraft?
By holding \u21e7 Shift and double-clicking while holding an item, all items of a type clicked on will be moved into or out of the chest.Nas - I Can (Official HD Video)

Answer 2
you should just be able to left click and then move the mouse then left click again. (the fact you are on windows 8 doesnt change anything, it is the version of minecraft and set up of your mouse that could change this)
