I regret to say that I have never had this problem.
Tactics Trainer
It's kind of annoying and frustrating, but there are worse problems, for sure! Obviously, I realize I could be doing something wrong or be coming down with Alzheimer's, but I've observed this enough time to have my doubts. Maybe the magnetic connection (however it works) that is supposed to happen between the space and my piece doesn't happen fast enough. Like dialing a number that is correct but getting a wrong number nevertheless.
I have never had that problem. Are you talking about tactics trainer though? Because in tactics trainer you only get 1 choice for the move. If that choice is incorrect you don't get a second chance to try moving.
Does anyone else have the following problem?
On many occasions now, I have felt sure that I already tried a move that was deemed 'incorrect' and then (usually after I believed I had tried every likely move twice, and even some unlikely moves) I have selected the 'Solution' button only to have one of my rejected moves be shown as the correct move, sometimes with rather obvious moves! If this had not happened probably a dozen times in a few days (I'm new here), I would not be mentioning it, but I doubt that my memory could be so poor that, with only a few pieces and likely moves on most puzzle boards, I would either have forgotten or not tried the correct move at least once. I've gotten used to pressing the restart button for each new move, so I don't think that is the problem. Please give me a clue as to what I'm experiencing.
