Drag files won't release them

Hello!

I've been experiencing some kind of trouble with drag & drop in Finder and desktop.

Whenever I click+drag a file, I can't release this file. I click, right click, space bar, whatever, and the file stills on drag for some time and then it releases itself.

When I reboot everything is fine, until after some time it starts with the problem again.

Just now what I noticed was: when the file is locked on drag, if I do ESC+click it releases but I can't move files or anything else.

Can someone help me please? I've only been using my Mac since may, so I'm not very experienced yet.
 
It would be nice to know if its a desktop or portable machine you have. If a portable I'd suspect a stuck track button. If a desktop maybe a stuck mouse button.
 
It's a MacBook white bought in may this year. I don't believe the trackpad is stuck because I can still click it physically and with the double tap. Also, in any other situation, it works perfectly.

P.s: right now I can drag files perfectly, and it's been like this for some hours now, but anytime it will suddenly start showing that issue again. Any thoughts?
 
Sorry for double-posting but;

Anyone, please? I tried looking on the web a lot and didn't find anything. Came here because you guys help who needs it.

It doesn't happen very often, but it still does and is extremely annoying. Can you imagine not being able to drop the files you drag?

I'm a former .NET developer and now working with iPhone/iPad development, so it also comes as an impediment at my work. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
