      This option affects the +behaviour of the translate manipulator. When the option is +disabled, dragging a selected object in translation mode will behave as if the +manipulator’s central square is being dragged, and allow motion in two +dimensions. If the option is enabled, dragging the selected object will behave +as if the closest manipulator arrow is being dragged, and allow motion along +only a single axis.
