Did you restart Wing IDE after editing preferences from Edit / Preferences
menu item?  Currently, prefs changes only take effect after restarting
the IDE.

Just hold down the alt key (win32) or shift key (linux and others) before
dropping the selection at its new location and it will cut from the
source instead of copying.  There isn't a pref for this right now,
however.

Hope that helps.
