agree  Ian M-H (X): yes, drag // even though drag often refers to dragging *something* using the mouse (i.e. Andras has a point), it feels like the nearest equivalent to "ziehen" here
3 mins
disagree  Andras Malatinszky: Drag means move your mouse with the left button pressed. Based on the context, I doubt that this is what's required.
11 mins
  -> what makes you think drag means move with the left button pressed? - you seem to mean 'click and drag', and why the 'left' button?
neutral  Colin Newberry: Whatever happens in the asker's context, drag (as in drag & drop) does usually mean holding down a mouse button while moving sth to different location.

Just a note: all suggestions so far are valid.
You can say drag, move, roll, even \"mouse over the picture\" ;-)

agree  Heidi Stone-Schaller: IMO, all except drag. Drag means using your mouse to move something from A to B.

  -> You might be right, Heidrun. Unfortunately, we have not been given enough context.
