So the best way to clear that browser confusion is to empty your browser cache and restart your browser.
What tends to happen is that the browser gets a little confused about what's new and what's cached, and it doesn't know what to do. It's a bit like a digital version of an animated flipbook (that's a real over-simplification!). But what's happening behind the scenes is hundreds of calculations that redraw the position and size of that image in the screen for every step along the way as you drag. Think about it: every time you drag to resize an image in your Squarespace editor, you see the change in realtime. But technology isn't foolproof, and sometimes things get muddled.
If it has changed, the browser acknowledges this and throws out the old cache version, and gets the new version to show you and replace it in the cache. Normally, the browser only uses cached versions if the web page or file hasn't been updated since your last visit. In order to make websites load more quickly with reduced resource, internet browser applications will store (or cache) versions of the pages you visit so the next time you visit that page, it will load the stored version from your browser cache instead of having to fetch a totally new copy. What causes these problems? The usual culprit is your browser cache. There's a lot of stuff happening in your browser, so sometimes after a heavy editing session, you'll start to notice performance problems. Squarespace is no exception to this new breed of in-browser editing, and quite a lot of the actions you're performing when you create pages & products or do some fancy drag & drop layout wizardry are actually rather resource-intensive. Heck, with Pixlr you've pretty much got a pared-down version of Photoshop, for free, with all the complicated extrapolations and image manipulations happening online, right there in your favourite browser (hint: if you haven't tried Pixlr, you really should!). These days, we've all become accustomed to doing quite complex things in our web browsers.
